Higher Power. by Ortiz, Dewey,film director.; Aliya, Rafi,film director.; New Day Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by New Day Films in 2023.Part advocacy doc, part travelogue and celebration of Black Washingtonian culture, HIGHER POWER highlights local residents looking to create prosperity and nab a piece of the American Dream while trapped in a political system that denies its citizens the fundamental right to self-rule. Viewed through the personal stories of advocates, lawmakers, and aspiring entrepreneurs, HIGHER POWER details the impact of D.C.’s derailed cannabis legalization on Black communities it was enacted to revitalize. More than 70% of D.C. voters approved cannabis legalization. Still, Congress overturned the law, creating a gray market that continues to criminalize Black residents and deny them access to the economic opportunity of legal cannabis. This film documents, in real-time, the fight to end prohibition and the disenfranchisement of 700,000 U.S. citizens. HIGHER POWER makes clear that the solution for both is D.C. statehood.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
