Storyline

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 the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known. Omalu's emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world.

I don't care about all the drama or thrill part of it. I most interested in the story behind the story and the science behind CTE.

As one who survived a life threatening concussion myself and also as a Scientist, my interest is peaked of anything to do with concussions.

Of course it always cool to see The Burgh and Yinzers in Hollywood movies!
