Young Washington in theaters this weekend

Greg welcomes Young Washington screenwriter Diederik Hoogstraten for a fascinating conversation about bringing the untold story of a young George Washington to the big screen. Together they explore the historical events that shaped America's first president, the challenges of balancing historical accuracy with compelling storytelling, and why Washington's character, courage, and leadership remain relevant today. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Diederik shares the inspiration behind the film and why this powerful story of faith, sacrifice, and the founding of a nation is resonating with audiences. Young Washington, co-written by Diederik Hoogstraten, is directed by Jon Erwin and opens in theaters nationwide on July 3.
