"Had the pleasure of meeting the brilliant and amazing Dr. Bennet
Omalu. I'm so proud of Will's courage to tell Dr. Omalu's story. I can't
wait for you guys to see it:)"
Dr.
Bennet Omalu is a Nigerian forensic pathologist. He was the first to
publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. He fought against
efforts by National Football League to suppress his research on the
brain damage suffered by professional football players. Will Smith
portrayed him in
the movie "Concussion" which depicts the doctor's
efforts to publicize CTE.
