One of the most impactful films of the year, CONCUSSION is both thought-provoking and difficult to watch. Starring Will Smith, the drama tells the true story of a forensic pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu who exposes the deadly consequences of football-related head trauma.
During an autopsy of former NFL player Mike Webster (David Morse), Omalu discovers a neurological deterioration on par with Alzheimer’s disease. When he learns that other players have befallen the same fate, he fights to share his findings with the world. Watch Trailer
Will Smith stars as Omalu in the film, which is directed by Peter Landesman (Kill the Messenger). Smith, Omalu and the filmmakers were on hand at a recent NY press conference to discuss working on the project.
