We Fight to Be Free is a 2006 short biographical film about George Washington directed by Kees Van Oostrum and starring Sebastian Roché, Caroline Goodall, Stephen Lang and Peter Woodward.[1][2][3][4]
The film features the story of American Revolutionary war hero and first United States president, George Washington, including his military achievements and pivotal moments in his life.
The film has received generally positive reviews. Desson Thomson wrote for The Washington Post, "'We Fight to Be Free' is the real headliner: a rousing 18-minute action film about Washington's life that greets visitors to the new Ford Orientation Center".[5] Denise D. Meringolo was critical of the film, writing for The Public Historian:
"We Fight to Be Free" is oddly incomplete—it fails to explain fully Washington’s attachment to the estate or to portray the complexity of his choices as a military officer and a political figure.[6]
