[BlackTree TV - Orlando]  Shawn Edwards catches up with Academy Award Winner Morgan Freeman to talk about preserving wild life and working with the dolphins.

Alcon Entertainment's "Dolphin Tale" is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin called Winter and the compassionate people who banded together to save her life.
Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun.
Losing her tail may cost Winter her life. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle—a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help thousands of people around the world.
"Dolphin Tale" is a heartwarming, fun adventure about the healing bonds of family, both human and animal.
The real Winter, who plays herself in "Dolphin Tale," today serves as a symbol of courage and hope to millions of people—especially those facing their own physical challenges—who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation.
The film stars Harry Connick, Jr. as Dr. Clay Haskett, who runs the Clearwater Marine Hospital; Ashley Judd as Lorraine Nelson, a single mother; Nathan Gamble as her son, Sawyer, who frees Winter from the trap and forms a unique connection with the dolphin; Cozi Zuehlsdorff as Hazel, Clay's daughter, who befriends Sawyer; Kris Kristofferson as Clay's father, Reed; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby") as Dr. Cameron McCarthy, who takes on the seemingly impossible task of crafting a prosthetic tail for Winter.
