American Experience: George Washinton: The Man Who Wouldn't Be King

GEORGE WASHINGTON: THE MAN WHO WOULDN'T BE KING is the story of a man who grew into greatness by accepting the challenge of leading a fractious, rag-tag army against the might of the British government. Using impressionistic photography and rare paintings, etchings and prints from museums, libraries, and private collections, this film goes beyond the standard textbook portrait to reveal the real George Washington.
