Jamal Holtz and the 51st State Push

Jamal Holtz, a fourth-generation Washingtonian and rising voice for D.C. statehood, takes center stage in the newly available documentary “51st State,” now streaming on WETA+ and YouTube. Capturing his journey from activist to public face, the film follows his deep-rooted commitment to self-governance, sparked by his youth leadership training and amplified by recent political momentum. Director Hannah Rosenzweig highlights Holtz’s charisma and vision, as he champions D.C.’s path to becoming the 51st state — a fight now reignited by fresh election commitments and the film’s wider reach.
