Summary

Over the course of one hot summer, a group of children in the decaying rural South must confront a tangle of difficult choices. Set in a small town in North Carolina, George Washington is the story of a tight-knit multi-racial group of working-class kids caught in a tragic lie. After a twelve-year-old girl breaks up with her boyfriend for a sensitive, deeply introspective thirteen-year-old boy named George, a bizarre series of events and an innocent cover-up launches their insular group on individual quests for redemption. An ambitiously constructed, elegantly photographed meditation on adolescence
