Profit before people!

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2015)

Concussion is about profit before people. Football/N F L is cultural and economically a big social force when one challenges football one is challenging America itself. Post Concussion syndrome has been ignored and ignorance of the condition creates a culture of profit before people. Concussion accurately portrays the madness that dementia induces as proteins suffocates the brain. Mike Webster became a homeless man left behind. A outsider (from Africa) with no idea of the N F L wonders how do these athletes get early dementia. M R I/ Cat scans show nothing and on the coroner's own dollar uses slices of Webster's brain and discovers brain trauma. Concussion is an example of scientific method vs emotion and corporate greed. Well acted and directed, one experiences people getting fired, strain, and emotional dark side of humanity. One of the N F L board members turns his back on a dementia teammate only to suffer ironically the same fate. After the board member's suicide does the N F L finally get it. A painful learning experience. A movie of faith, values and finding the truth, Seven out of ten.
