It's not such a great movie, but it's a great story, and it's true.
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story is the biography of Dr. Ben Carson, renowned pediatric neurosurgeon.
From Amazon.com:
Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. (Actor in a Supporting Role, Jerry
Maguire, 1996) 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.
I saw this movie a couple of years ago, and didn't think much about it until recently, when I saw this video a friend posted. It's well worth sitting through the entire speech. Oh, and note who doesn't applaud.
