I found this 2009 made-for-TV movie to be a good film.
The plot of this biopic of famed neurosurgeon and former U.S. presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is book-ended by his efforts to save a pair of German twins conjoined cranially. The lynch pin of the story, however, is Carson's struggles in school and the points at which his mother decided things were going to change. The movie does an excellent job of telling that part of the young Carson's story, but starts giving short shrift once Carson starts attending high school and beyond. However, as a movie of the week clocking in at only 90minutes, I understand why the story unfolds in such a way.
As I said, this is a heartwarming picture as well as being engaging, inspirational and wholesome in a not cheesy way.
Watch "Gifted Hands", but better yet, read the book upon which it was based, as I'm sure Mother Carson would advise you to as well.
