Ratings and reviews

Vivian thomas is one of my heroes along with my parents. Vivian Thomas saved my life. I was born with tetrology a faloe. I am a 58year old white male. And all BLACK LIVES MATTER. Thank you Dr. Thomas I could never have thanked you enough for saving my life. I hope one day to be able to sit in the entrance where your portrait hangs in John's Hopkins hospital to thank you where your spirit soared

A great film. And Mos def as you have never seen him. Revolves around medical research and the friendship between these two men(one black and one white) who could haven't gotten anything accomplished unless they had worked TOGETHER. A good, well acted drama based on a true story.
