“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.
