People call Jamal Holtz the future mayor (or governor) of D.C. At 25, he is a warm, extroverted, old soul, passionately dedicated to establishing Washington D.C. as The United States’ newest state. 51st STATE is a short film that explores the emerging national issue of D.C. statehood from the personal perspective of one of its youngest and most vibrant Gen Z leaders – set against the overlooked cultural backdrop of our capital city and a deep yet virtually unknown crack in our democracy.
