Topics: Period 1940s, Health & Medicine.

Feat. Alan Rickman, Mos Def, Mary Stuart Masterson, Kyra Sedgwick

Aroview: Superior telemovie observes the pioneering medical teamship in the 1940s between a gifted black lab technician (Mos Def) and a surgeon (Rickman), who pioneered the treatment of 'blue babies' - those born with defective heart valves. Based on a true story, this touches on issues of racism and medical innovation with low-key grace, and is all the more effective for it.

3 stars (Good Enough) It does very well, for the most part, to avoid melodrama. The story is well worth the telling and this is helped by some very good performances. ~Tubbs
