Shot in the landscape of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, George Washington is a stunning portrait of how a group of young kids come to grips with a hard world of choices and consequences. During an innocent game in an abandoned amusement park, a member of the group dies. Narrated by one of the children, the film follows the kids as they struggle to balance their own ambitions and relationships against a tragic lie. The acting by the non-professional children is phenomenal; it is both instinctive and intelligent.
