SUMMARY:Young Washington
DESCRIPTION:Step into the early life of America’s first president with Young Washington. This engaging historical drama brings George Washington’s formative years to the screen. Discover the experiences that shaped him long before he became an American icon. \nBefore Washington led the Continental Army\, he was a young soldier finding his way. He faced dangerous battles\, personal setbacks\, and difficult decisions. He also made mistakes. Each challenge tested his courage and judgment. In turn\, these early experiences helped shape the leader he would eventually become. \nSet during the French and Indian War\, Young Washington explores a pivotal chapter in Washington’s life. Follow him as he navigates the uncertainty and brutality of war. Watch as he confronts betrayal\, hardship\, and failure. Along the way\, he begins to develop the determination and resilience that will define his future. \nThe film also looks beyond the familiar image of Washington as a celebrated general and president. Instead\, audiences meet an ambitious young man who still has much to learn. His path to leadership was not simple or inevitable. It grew from experience\, perseverance\, and lessons learned through failure. \nWith sweeping battle sequences\, compelling performances\, and powerful storytelling\, Young Washington brings history to life on the big screen. The film offers a fresh perspective on a legendary American figure while exploring the events that shaped his character. \nWhether you love history or simply enjoy a compelling story\, Young Washington offers a fascinating look at the man before the legend. \nJoin us at Gorton Center for this special screening and discover the extraordinary story of the young George Washington. \n\nWe are especially grateful to the Sheffield Foundation for sponsoring this screening.\n\n\nYOUNG WASHINGTONRated: PG-13 — Strong war violence and some bloody imagesRun Time: 2 hours 5 minutesDirector: Jon ErwinWriters: Jon Erwin\, Diederik Hoogstraten\, Tom ProvostStarring: William Franklyn-Miller\, Mary-Louise Parker\, Kelsey Grammer\, Andy Serkis\, Ben Kingsley
