Tip#791: Be Inspired by Amazing True Stories, Part 3 - Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

I’ve been so excited for meeting so many movie lovers across the planet because of my social media project on Facebook and Pinterest called “Inspiring Film Recommendations from Movie Lovers Around the World”. They are all from different cultures, professions and age groups and yet share a common theme in that a film helped inspire them in a very meaningful way. See: social media project

Also when I needed to connect with movie lovers in different countries my friends on Facebook were quick to connect me with their friends. One of my friend’s husband put a shout out on his Facebook wall and tagged specific contacts. Then one of those friends in the Philippines responded and that’s how I learned about this latest movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr. I was so intrigued by how this film inspired this woman in the Philippines that I had to watch it right away. It’s now a favourite, uplifting movie I am excited to recommend!

Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story (2009)

The drama film, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, is based on the true life story of world-renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson (Cuba Gooding Jr.). The movie shows his childhood struggles learning at school and how his loving mother encouraged him to be the best he could be. You will also see how brilliant he was when asked to do an almost impossible operation of disjoining newborn twins attached at the head. See: movie trailer

This is one of those films that while watching it I felt so inspired that I knew I needed to watch it over and over again. There are many inspirational and motivational themes for young and old in this movie. I highly recommend this to any parent wanting to encourage their children to be the best they can be in life. And for those who need inspiration for work or in life by an amazing true story this film is for you!
