This one-hour documentary is the first historical film on the right for self-government in Washington, D.C. told through the lives and voices of its citizens.

Online Screening, Tuesday, February 25th at 7:30

Washington, D.C. is one of the only capitals in the world where its citizens have no representation in the national legislature and where Congress and federal authorities routinely intrude on the local government of the District. The film looks at four turning points in the history of Washington, D.C. to understand how this happened and the struggles of D.C. residents to restore their basic rights of self-government that other Americans enjoy.
