I recently saw three wonderful video's..............Something the Lord Made, The Blue Butterfly and Temple Grandin. Please if you want to see true inspiring heroes, rent any one of these and prepare for an uplifting evening's entertainment.
Something the Lord Made is about Dr. Alfred Blalock, a heart surgeon at John Hopkins who works with Vivien Thomas, a carpenter and develops the time-tested surgery to help "blue babies" in the 1950's, still used today saving many infants lives. This is a story of a white prideful physician and a black man with an amazing inquisitive mind.
The Blue Butterfly is about a ten year old's request to go into the Amazon looking for the blue moroph butterfly with a world famous entomologist. The problem is that he is suffering from brain cancer, this is a true story and even kids will love this filmed in the rain forest. ( great ending!)
Temple Grandin is about a woman diagnosed with Autism in the 1950's who went on to earn her BA, MA and PHD in animal husbandry/science. She invented amazing machinery used in the cattle industry, is an author and teaches today at the University of Colorado.
