Jurors’ statement: “A compelling exposé on the ongoing struggle of Washington, D.C. residents, who are subject to federal taxes yet denied representation in Congress. The eye-opening “51st State” sheds light on the harsh reality of disenfranchisement faced by over 700,000 Americans, making a powerful case for statehood as an overdue step toward equality. It’s a must-watch for anyone who believes in true democracy and the right to representation.”
