Trivia
The real Ben Carson can be seen briefly as an extra walking down the hallway reading a chart and wearing the same blue scrubs as Cuba Gooding Jr..

Goofs
The shot of the cityscape appearing at the beginning, after Ben Carson accepts to perform surgery on the twins, is presented as ULM (Germany) but actually shows Hamburg.

Quotes
Sonya Carson: I didn't say they weren't expensive clothes. I said they're cheap. Most folks that wear cheap clothes on the outside are dead on the inside. The folks I work for, they buy clothes that last. That's what I try to get you.

Connections
Referenced in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Josh Brolin/Martin O'Malley/Judd Winick/Abe Laboriel Jr. (2015)

Great Movie...

We just finished watching Gifted Hands and can't believe this was a made-for-TV movie and not for theatrical release. It is one of the better biographical movies we have ever seen.

Inspiring storyline - beautifully acted. What a wonderful message for young people that they can do anything they set their mind and heart to.

This is better than many of the movies you will pay to see.

Just sent out and email to friends and family to make sure they don't miss it.

Watch with Kleenex handy. Kudo's TNT...
