Back to EpisodesNew Young Washington Film Captures the Courage That Built a Nation - Diederik Hoogstraten
Description
President George Washington wasn’t always the gray-haired patriarch of America. Before he was the “Father of the Country” and before he led the Revolutionary warfighters across the icy Delaware River on Christmas Eve, he was Young Washington. This new and gripping film from Angel Studios, releasing on July 3, promises to tell the “untold story” of a young leader forged in the fires of a global conflict and a war-torn frontier. Diederik Hoogstraten, a screenwriter on this upcoming film, delivers a behind-the-scenes look at the movie's inspiration and the challenges of bringing history to life in the modern era. Diederik is an accomplished journalist, author, and screenwriter whose love for American history runs deep. He hopes the film will challenge young Americans to do great things, embrace a resilient spirit, and lean into the integrity embodied by George Washington.
