Plot Synopsis

BEN CARSON: THE LOST TAPES is a two-episode special that highlights the medical accomplishments of Dr. Ben Carson, who grew up in the slums of Detroit, became the go-to surgeon for pediatric brain surgery, completing up to 500 surgeries a year, and is now a political hopeful in the Republican presidential primary election. These programs delve deep into the archives of some of his most noteworthy surgeries, including the first successful surgical separation of infant Zambian twins Luka and Joseph Banda, which made headlines throughout the world. He was the first-person to ever use a tool for brain tumor surgeries -- a wand with special sensors at its tip -- to surgically remove life-threatening brain tumors.
