something the lord made part 1 12

SOMETHING THE LORD MADE is a moving story of men who defy the rules and start a medical revolution. Their patients are known as the "blue babies" - infants suffering from a congenital heart defect that turns them blue as they slowly suffocate.

Alfred Blalock (Alan Rickman) and Vivien Thomas (Mos Def) make a brilliant team. But even as they race against time to save one particular baby, the two occupy different places in society. Blalock is the white, wealthy head of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Thomas is black and poor, a skilled carpenter whose dream of going to college and becoming a doctor was ruined by the Great Depression, although he was naturally gifted with the intuition and dexterity of a great surgeon.

Even as they save lives and invent a whole new field of medicine, social pressures threaten to tear them apart. Ultimately, however, Thomas finds his dreams coming true in unexpected ways.

Credits: (Dr. Alfred Blalock), Mos Def (Vivien Thomas), Kyra Sedgwick (Mary Blalock), Gabrielle Union (Clara Thomas), Charles Dutton (William Thomas), Mary Stuart Masterson (Dr. Helen Taussig).

Good movie

[SummerBug26]

The movie is *mostly there*. The person who posted this has some odd transitions and many scenes are glossed over. Part 11 does not have sound, only classical music. Many parts in part 12 are oddly freeze framed while the audio continues. What was this person thinking?!? Ruined a good movie.
