Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. stars in this true story about a renowned brain surgeon who overcame obstacles to change the course of medicine forever.
Young Ben Carson didn't have much of a chance. Growing up in a broken home amongst poverty and prejudice, his grades suffered and his temper flared. And yet, his mother never lost her faith in him. Insisting he follow the opportunities she never had, she helped to grow his imagination, intelligence and, most importantly, his belief in himself. That faith would be his gift - the thing that would drive him to follow his dream of becoming one of the world's leading neurosurgeons.
Strengths: An outstanding movie for any adolescent who lacks direction and motivation in life! Good casting, acting, and directing from beginning to end!
Weaknesses: God is glorified for His providence in the life of this surgeon. The gospel is not presented, though an indication of Ben's repentance and faith in God is seen in his embrace of the Bible.
