Reception
The film has received generally positive reviews. Desson Thomson wrote for The Washington Post, "'We Fight to Be Free' is the real headliner: a rousing 18-minute action film about Washington's life that greets visitors to the new Ford Orientation Center". Denise D. Meringolo was critical of the film, writing for The Public Historian:"'We Fight to Be Free' is oddly incomplete—it fails to explain fully Washington’s attachment to the estate or to portray the complexity of his choices as a military officer and a political figure."
