Based on: The work of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist whose work linking concussions in football with long-term neurological effects is still being fought over.
Traumatic brain injury, specifically chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is still a subject of debate for doctors and the NFL, thought conversation now is less about whether or not repeated concussions in sports can have long term consequences, but about the extent of the potential damage. Following Will Smith’s Dr. Bennet Omalu, Concussion isn’t a sports movie per se, in that it doesn’t focus on athletics or big-game set pieces so much as it does the real-life battle between a forensic pathologist and football industry types who weren’t terribly interested in hearing what he had to say.
