Very Moving!
I definitely enjoyed watching this inspiring (and moving!) documentary after watching the Dolphin Tale films. What a way to become motivated, energized, and remember all the blessings that God has given us in life!
December 10, 2005 – A baby dolphin caught in a crab trap is rescued, beginning a series of events that has become one of the most inspiring stories of our generation. Travel with us behind the scenes of Winter’s amazing true story. See footage of the actual rescue, and follow her through the trials of losing her tail, learning to swim without a tail, and the miracle of swimming again with her new prosthetic tail. Learn how the tail research is now helping human amputees. Hear from the real-life Clearwater Marine Aquarium team, and experience the joy of children and wounded soldiers who have found her to be a life-changing role model. This real life story is hosted by Cozi Zuehlsdorff, "Hazel" in Dolphin Tale. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds from your purchase goes directly to supporting our mission of Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release of marine life, and the long-term care of our resident animals!

We visited the aquarium this summer and my son wanted to know more about Winter’s rescue! Great movie with actual footage!
My sister Lilo and I loved watching the documentary from the the moment we first watched it. In fact, Lilo always follows the documentary with Dolphin Tale 2.
Too bad humans don't always do as well as our marine friends! This item is one to recommend to children and young adults of the next generation - perhaps even required in the classroom! -- certainly beats a lot of what students are being given!
After we watched the fictionalized film version _Dolphin Tale_ with our 7-year-olds, we purchased this so they could see how Winter's story really happened. While the pacing of the documentary was sometimes slow, it was fascinating to see the real people who were involved in her rescue, and the real people who have been inspired and helped by her story. The experiences of real-life children and soldiers who see themselves and their own potential in Winter and all she has overcome were very touching--as was the story of Levi, the autistic boy who identified with Sawyer in _Dolphin Tale_. I highly recommend this documentary to any parent whose children loved the Warner Brothers film. Comparing and contrasting is a good exercise, and Winter's real influence is worth knowing about. (Also, once they know what real-life Abby Stone looks like, it will be interesting for them to see her in the background of _Dolphin Tale_ scenes featuring her counterpart Phoebe!)
Truly enjoyed this documentary. Heartwarming with many happy endings.
I bought this for my 6 year old granddaughter after we went to CMA. It was inspirational and heartwarming. The message was priceless.
I cannot express to you enough how amazing & inspirational Winter's DVD was to My family & I. It makes you never want to give up on any obstacle or difficulty your facing. I have several health issues & Winter has been an inspiration to me, to Never Give Up on yourself. Thank you Winter for inspiring others & myself.
A very touching story so in depth that by the end of it i was reduced to such happy and emotional tears! She is an inspiration to all and we are very lucky to have her to look to for guidance and encouragement! Keep it up Winter!!!
It was lovely to have the 'Winter Dolphin' page on facebook reply back to the status i posted about this amazing DVD.
This video that highlights the rescue of Winter and eventually Hope, also shows how Winters story has been such an inspiration to so many, young and old around the world. Even my 7 and 8 year old grandkids were riveted to the story.
Thank you for putting this together.
