Your latest Franklin Springs Family Media review and giveaway is this comprehensive documentary about an amazing American: George Washington Carver.

His journey was extraordinary: though born a slave, by the end of his life, presidents and corporate titans valued his friendship. Millions of Americans benefited from his innovations. His scientific genius is legendary, but less known is his remarkable path to greatness, defined by a life-long passion for serving others.

Watch a preview here:

Our Littles are too little to follow or care about this, so it wasn’t especially popular as a “family movie night” selection, but all of us with two digits in our age were intrigued by the story of his life — there’s just so much more there than “the peanut guy”!

Lessons we can learn from Mr. Carver’s life include perseverance, Christian faith, selfless giving, the value of curiosity, and the perfection of Divine Design – to name just a few.

This DVD would be a worthwhile addition to anyone’s media library, for personal development, inspiration, homeschooling…
