and video clip of Voddie recording and to order!

This stimulating documentary, narrated by  Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr., beautifully traces the valiant life of George Washington Carver, chronicling his improbable odyssey from slavery to becoming a household name. Carver’s scientific genius is legendary, but less known is his remarkable path to greatness, defined by a life-long passion for serving others. This cinematic film features footage from Carver’s boyhood home in Missouri, Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, as well as many other historical locales. This uplifting film inspires as it teaches about the life of a great American hero.
