Drey Carter has been arrested for drugs. He's been abusing alcohol and cheating on his girlfriend. Today he'll have one last chance...to do what's right.
Over one hundred years ago, Dr. George Washington Carver was also faced with a life-changing choice. On his way to becoming rich and famous, Dr. Carver was asked by Booker T. Washington to give it all up for some people he didn't even know.

"Do what's right...no matter what the cost."
THE PEANUT MAN - THE STORY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER is more than a history lesson about one of the world's premier scientists. It's about making the right choices.
