"Concussion" is a 2015 film based on the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian forensic pathologist who discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a brain condition linked to repeated concussions in athletes, particularly American football players. The film follows Dr. Omalu as he uncovers the dangers of head injuries in sports and faces challenges from the powerful football industry, which is reluctant to acknowledge the problem. Through his perseverance, Omalu seeks to raise awareness about the risks of concussions and advocate for player safety, highlighting the need for transparency and change in sports culture.
