PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

At the center of Virginia, a poignant small-town American drama directed by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk) and executive produced by Gus Van Sant (Milk, Good Will Hunting), Jennifer Connelly stars as Virginia, a charming yet mentally ill mother whose greatest love is her protector and illegitimate son, Emmett (played by Harrison Gilbertson). Ed Harris is Richard Tipton, the local married Mormon sheriff-turned-hopeful political candidate with whom Virginia had a two-decade long affair and who might very well be Emmett's father. When Sheriff Tipton learns that his daughter (Roberts) and Emmett have begun a romantic relationship, his Senate campaign, as well as Virginia's once simple life, are turned upside down. As the relationship threatens this boardwalk town's peculiar secrets, mother and son embark on a mad dash to seize their own brand of the American dream, guns blazing. Virginia was released theatrically in May 2012.
