The Clark presents a series of films highlighting the charm of small towns. The series continues with George Washington (2000). This film unfolds during a balmy July in a North Carolina town, one where kudzu embraces abandoned buildings. Four children, at the edge of adolescence, make a mistake that cannot be undone. They are forced to grow up, albeit only partially. One of them, George (Donald Holden), emerges as a local hero. Sublimely narrated by the twelve-year-old Nasia (Candace Evanofski), George Washington is about the relationship between choice and chance, and the aspirations that still prevail outside of it. Made on a shoestring budget with non-actors, David Gordon Green succeeds in directing a debut film unlike any other.
