Willem Dafoe and the Shadow of Disney World

Willem Defoe stars as "Bobby" in "The Florida Project."

Willem Dafoe discusses starring in Sean Baker's indie film, The Florida Project. Set over one summer, the film follows precocious six-year-old Moonee as she courts mischief and adventure with her ragtag playmates and bonds with her rebellious but caring mother. The family lives in Magic Castle, a shabby hotel-turned-housing-complex in the shadows of Disney World. Dafoe has received an Oscar nomination for his performance as Bobby, a reluctant hero who runs Magic Castle and keeps an eye on the community's children.

This segment is guest hosted by Martha Plimpton.
