Washington, D.C. is one of the only capitals in the world where citizens have no representation in the national legislature and where Congress and federal authorities routinely intrude on local government.

”The Last Battlefront: Quest for the Vote in Washington, D.C.” is a one-hour documentary film that looks at four turning points in the history of DC to understand how this happened and the struggles of the District’s residents to restore their basic rights of self-government.

A post-screening discussion offering insights into the struggle for voting rights and self-government for the citizens of Washington, D.C. will be held immediately after the film.
