Descripción

Todo el mundo conoce a George Washington. Bueno, al menos se sabe los titulares: fue un general, cruzó el río Delaware, llevó al Ejército Continental a la victoria sobre los británicos, su rostro aparece en el billete de un dólar, nunca dijo una mentira, taló un cerezo, tenía dientes de madera... Y es probable que piensen que estas cosas son ciertas, pero no lo son. Todos saben su nombre, pocos conocen su historia y es épica. En colaboración con la historiadora y ganadora del premio Pulitzer Doris Kearns Goodwin, esta miniserie documental combina narración, extractos de cartas y escritos personales, opiniones y datos de expertos y dramatizaciones de alta calidad que juntos arrojarán nueva luz sobre la figura de George Washington, desde su juventud, cuando solo quería ser el colono británico más famoso de todos, hasta erigirse en líder de una nueva nación que más tarde se convertiría en superpotencia.

Loyal Subject

A young George Washington hungers for fame and prestige as an officer in the British military. Sent by the British royal governor to deliver an ultimatum to the French in the West, the inexperienced young Washington learns a hard lesson about leadership when his failures in the field inadvertently kick off a world war. Washington emerges from this conflict as America's first folk hero, just as he begins to grow disenchanted with the empire he once aspired to serve. And with a wealthy new wife at his side and a lucrative business at Mount Vernon, Washington has put himself at the center of this country's story--chosen to lead the coming revolution.

Rebel Commander

The British are no longer coming, they're here. And as the American colonies make their final break from the British empire, their newly minted commander-in-chief George Washington realizes he's been handed a nearly impossible task--fighting the most powerful and seasoned armed forces in the world with a ragtag group of soldiers that is undisciplined, inexperienced and underfunded. With no formal military training or major victory to his name, Washington sets the course for achieving the unimaginable through cunning, ingenuity and sheer force of will. And he is transformed in the process, from a man driven by personal ambition and animus for the British, to a man called to lead a cause far larger--the cause of liberty.

Father of His Country

The Revolution has been won, but for Washington, the problems, even within his own army, are just beginning. With the fate of the young republic at stake, Washington once again rises to the moment, becoming the inevitable, though reluctant, hero his country needs. Having evolved from soldier to commander to victor, Washington does what no revolutionary leader has ever done before: He wills the power to the people. While warring nations attack America's borders and uprisings threaten from within, Washington builds the new United States up with his bare hands--enduring treachery and personal attacks--while setting the country on a course that still dictates much of the American experience to this day.
