George Washington is a 2000 American independent Southern Gothic coming-of-age drama film written and directed by David Gordon Green in his directorial debut. The film focuses on two groups, five multi-racial preteen friends and a laidback crew of blue collar railroad workers during a hot summer in an decaying small rural town in North Carolina and their reactions to the accidental death of a young boy in the community. Filming took place on location in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and primarily used local non-actors in the film's cast. The film premiered at the 50th Berlin International Film Festival and received critical acclaim.
