American colonist “Robert B. Shields” of Virginia, played by Randall Franks, heeds a request from his cousin George Washington to muster men from the western frontier to join him in the American Revolution in the 1770s. Shields pens a letter to his son Jamie that reflects the sentiments of "The American's Creed."

"In this film, I explore the colonial period through the eyes of one of my ancestors and find the inspiration passed down through the generations," Franks said, who also directed the project. https://RandallFranks.com/The-Americans-Creed/
