Concussion

Concussion (2015) is a drama by Peter Landesman you can watch online on iFILM. Will Smith plays a Nigerian-born doctor who took on the richest sports league in America.

Dr. Bennet Omalu works as a forensic pathologist in Pittsburgh. One day a recently deceased pro football star ends up on his table. The autopsy leads him to a finding the NFL would rather bury: repeated blows to the head slowly wreck a player's brain. The louder Omalu insists on the truth, the harder powerful people push back. Alec Baldwin, Albert Brooks and Gugu Mbatha-Raw surround a man with nothing left to lose but his conscience.

The story is real, and so is the investigation that changed how pro sports treats head trauma. Smith drops the usual movie-star shine and plays it on stubbornness and quiet resolve. Stream Concussion (2015) online on iFILM.
