Plot
Unveiling the life of a young soldier, fatherless yet fueled by ambition, Washington immerses you in a journey of transformation as this man evolves into a leader, ready to sacrifice everything for the collective good. This once-devoted British subject ascends, challenging an empire in a strenuous campaign of liberty or death, to mould a new nation from the ashes of tumult. At the pinnacle of his power, this triumphant general, hailed by King George III as "the greatest man in the world," willingly relinquishes control, believing his public duty fulfilled, and seeks the simple life of a farmer.
Yet, as the fledgling nation teeters on the brink of ruin, Washington is summoned back to the helm, crafting the most robust and prosperous democracy the world has ever known. This series peels back layers of legend to expose George Washington, the man at the heart of America's genesis. It paints a portrait more complex and captivating than the familiar narrative, revealing hidden facets of our revered founding father. Washington is not just a glimpse into the past, but an invitation to view George Washington and the birth of America through a new, illuminating lens.
