"A Breath of Fresh Air: A New Prescription for America," is the title of an hour-long documentary designed to introduce more Americans to Ben Carson, the retired Maryland neurosurgeon and political newcomer who's weighing a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

The documentary aired over the weekend in select markets as Carson, a hit at conservative and Republican forums ever since his attention-grabbing remarks at a 2013 National Prayer Breakfast attended by President Barack Obama, nears a decision on a White House bid.
