George Washington: The Indispensable Man

George Washington is central to Ken Burns’ latest documentary series, The American Revolution. As Burns has observed, “He’s deeply flawed. He owned hundreds of human beings. But without him, we don’t have a country.” Christopher Jackson’s groundbreaking performance as Washington in the Broadway hit Hamilton required intense preparation and a nuanced approach to portraying the iconic Founding Father. Burns and Jackson will discuss bringing Washington to new generations of Americans.

This event is part of the 2026 Gettysburg Film Festival: American Revolution.
