Join us for a virtual discussion of The Magic of Belle Isle (2012) starring Morgan Freeman and Virginia Madsen.
Morgan Freeman plays Monte Wildhorn, a novelist whose passion for writing hits an impasse. He takes a cabin in Belle Isle, befriending the neighbors, an attractive single mom (Virginia Madsen) and her daughters, who help him find inspiration again.
