To find information about the history, controversy, and new documentary concerning Victor Arnautoff's murals at George Washington High School, please go to tab titled "George Washington High's Murals and 'Town Destroyer.'"
Town Destroyer is a 2022 documentary that discusses the art, history, struggle, and politics around the Victor Arnautoff murals at George Washington High School.
According to its production company: "TOWN DESTROYER explores how to look at art and history at a time of polarized national debate over the power of images, racism, trauma, and what should be taught in schools. A dispute erupts at a San Francisco high school over Depression-era murals about the life of George Washington: slaveowner, military leader, land speculator, President, and a man Native leaders called 'Town Destroyer' after he ordered their villages destroyed during the Revolutionary War."
