In this Mama Bear Movie Minute , Hilary, Alexa, and Anja discuss Young Washington , a historical drama chronicling George Washington's early military career during the French and Indian War.

The hosts appreciate that the movie avoids romanticizing history, acknowledging difficult subjects like Native American land disputes and slavery while still presenting an inspiring account of perseverance, humility, leadership, and God's providence.
