George: Rise of a Revolutionary

George Washington overcomes childhood tragedy to rise quickly up the ranks in the Virginia Militia where his fierce ambition thrusts him into England and France's battle for the American frontier

A humiliating defeat leads to Washington's demotion, and resignation. But as England and France go to war, George finds himself back on the battlefield… fighting to avert a massacre.

Denied a full commission in the British army, Washington takes command of Virginia's militia and seeks revenge against the French. But a shocking battlefield tragedy threatens to derail his dream.

After the war, George embarks on a quiet life as a planter, with his new wife, Martha. But growing colonial protests against England's tyranny soon drive Washington towards rebellion.
