A biographical Sports Drama Thriller that is based on true events, Concussion chronicles the story of distinguished forensic pathologist Dr. Bennett Omalu, who first discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) brain degeneration – a specific kind of brain trauma suffered by footballers. After conducting the autopsy of former Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster, who died a very unnatural death, Dr. Omalu realizes the existence of an injury that was exclusive to footballers.
The movie portrays Dr. Omalu’s search for the truth which puts him at loggerheads with some of the most powerful institutions, such as the National Football League, which is eager to sweep his research under the rug to protect its own interests. Will Dr, Omalu be successful in proving the existence of this common but highly ignored injury among footballers? Or will he finally be subdued by the larger organizations and their vested interests? Watch as this inspirational Drama showcases an important moment in the History of both American football and Sports medicine.
