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, DC to understand how this happened and the struggles of DC residents to restore their basic rights of self-government that other Americans enjoy.
