Based on the historical novel by Howard Fast.

As Washington argues with his officers about whether or not to cross the Delaware on Christmas Eve to attack the Hessians at Trenton, students will understand the colonial army’s precarious situation: the pitiful condition of the troops, the bitter division of the populace into revolutionaries and loyalists, Washington’s long string of losses, how close the Americans had come to total defeat, and the make-or-break stakes of this unlikely battle. Stars Jeff Daniels as George Washington. Note: some earthy language, battle violence.
