“Concussion” Movie Trailer

The NFL may have pushed the subject from the headlines back in the 2000’s but the issue has been front and center the past couple of years. Former athletes have sued the league for better health care and damages after retiring, and it all started with Dr. Bennet Omalu.

Will Smith will be playing the role of the Nigerian-born forensic neuropathologist, who discovered the brain trauma condition caused by repeated hits to the head called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In the film Concussion, Omalu takes on the NFL by his damn self, with the league doing everything they can to fight against him and discredit his work.

The Peter Landesman-directed film hits theaters December 25 and also stars Alec Baldwin, Luke Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Arliss Howard and more.
