The Washingtons of Sulgrave Manor
George Washington was
the third generation of his family born in America. Most of us don’t
think of the Founding Fathers as immigrants, but surprisingly the
Washingtons’ story has much in common with those of other immigrants to
America over the last 300 years. THE WASHINGTONS OF SULGRAVE MANOR
traces the roots of the American Spirit. The film follows the family
from Tudor England, through the Golden Age of Elizabeth I, to the
English Civil War and finally to the New World. The Washingtons, with
their ambition, risk and flexibility in the face of changing times,
epitomize the people who came - and continue to come - to America.
