DOLPHIN TALE

(Nathan Gamble and Winter)

From January 8, Ster-Kinekor Theatres offers the heart-warming story, Dolphin Tale, which forms part of the ‘My Happy Holiday’ promotion, that is still under way.

Dolphin Tale revolves around a friendless and lonely little boy named Sawyer who finds a vulnerable dolphin (Winter) that has been caught in a crab trap.

Sawyer played by Nathan Gamble, takes it upon himself to untangle the seized dolphin, only to find himself attached to the creature when his tail needs to be amputated in order to save its life. Sawyer firmly believes that if the dolphin is given a prosthetic tail, it will be able to swim normally. This touching movie also features stellar performances from Morgan Freeman (Invictus), Ashley Judd (Bug) and Harry Connick Jr (New in Town). This family drama runs for 113 minutes and was directed by Charles Martin Smith (Air Bud and the popular television series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer).
