A remarkable true story about an outstanding neurosurgeon who came from a poor background. Despite numerous obstacles, Ben Carson worked his way up to become one of the world’s leading experts in the field of surgery.

The film tells the gripping life story of Ben Carson, a man who dreamed of becoming a doctor. He came from a poor background, struggled in school, and had a hot temper—all major obstacles to achieving such a lofty goal.

Thanks to his mother, who raised her two children alone but guided them toward resilience and success despite adversity, Carson eventually became one of the world’s most respected pediatric neurosurgeons.

His gift has been a blessing to many patients.
