Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story - DVD

Oscar® winner Cuba Gooding Jr. stars in the compelling true story of Ben Carson, a man who dreamed of becoming a physician but had to overcome poverty, anger problems and poor grades to achieve his goal. Thanks to his single mother, who instilled in both her children faith in God and taught them to strive for excellence in the face of adversity, Carson made breakthroughs in his field and went on to become one of the most respected pediatric neurosurgeons in the world, earning the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian honor – from President George W. Bush.

In the Carson family, “no” just wasn’t an answer.  A frustrated young boy with problems in school overcomes the obstacles in his life to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon in the new TNT Original movie GIFTED HANDS: THE BEN CARSON STORY.

This uplifting and inspirational JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATION® stars Oscar® winner Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire) and two-time NAACP Image Award winner Kimberly Elise (The Great Debaters, The Manchurian Candidate). It is based on the true story of Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, whose lifelong journey led him to become director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, a best-selling author and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
