Will Smith stars in the incredible true story CONCUSSION.
Will Smith stars in Concussion, a dramatic thriller based on the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made an important medical discovery. Dr. Omalu’s emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world.
After his discovery of chronic brain injury in sports players, Dr. Omalu published his findings. He expected to begin a serious discussion of a safer way to play the game. Instead, he found himself and his family in the crosshairs, the subject of a vicious and nerve-wracking campaign to discredit him by some of the sport’s most powerful interests. “Twelve years later, I can’t believe how bold and audacious I was in that paper,” he says. “For twelve years, I’ve been bruised and burned. That paper was very idealistic. But there was nothing that I said in that paper that has not been confirmed by independent researchers.”
