Free Family Film Series

The popular FREE Family Film Series finishes with "Dolphin Tale" (2011), which tells of Winter, a young dolphin who loses her tail in a crab trap and Sawyer, the introverted, 11-year-old boy who befriends her. Sawyer meets the rescued dolphin at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a marine rehabilitation center where she lives, and rallies friends and family alike to save Winter by convincing a pioneering doctor to create a unique prosthetic attachment to restore the dolphin's ability to swim.

The cast includes Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson and, as herself, Winter the dolphin. Based on a true story, the film is rated PG.
