This is one of those films that will make a lasting impression on the viewer. Every young person should see it, as it realistically presents the struggles that Ben Carson had to overcome. As a young black man from a single parent family, he has become the top brain surgeon in the world, and he is so humble about it that one cannot help but be thrilled that he is there, as well as be encouraged that if you or a loved one needed his gifted hands, he would not hesitate to help you, regardless of who you are or where you are from. Of great interest are the clips at the end where the actual Ben is interviewed. He mentions that the college graduation rate for young black men is 15%, and that this can be changed by discipline and hard work, as he did. Yet the film also portrays his Christian faith, unashamedly, but it is not offensive in any way; simply part of his life. He is truly gifted and an amazing person.
