So why didn't I make this epic George Washington documentary sooner? I didn't have the time, but also I was a bit afraid to make it, to be honest. I was afraid it might be too difficult to tackle. I know this may sound weird, since there are sooo many books and videos about him, but that is precisely the problem. I worried about not having anything new to say about his life that was substantial, and I also worried about making this as balanced as possible. I also had to address the slavery part of his legacy, while somehow still arguing that he is my favorite President and still the greatest. The puppet helped, but still this was a difficult one to make. I also ended up reading more books in preparation for this one than I ever have for a video.

Anyway, hopefully it turned out alright. Subscribe to the Felt Show if you haven't already!
