Winning at All Costs

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2017)

A true story based on Dr. Bennet Omlu (Will Smith), a forensic pathologist in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania whose autopsies on four Pittsburg Steelers in the NFL lead to the discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Dr. Omlu, is an extremely educated, black man in the U.S. on a work visa. His research findings are not well received on many different levels. When the findings are finally presented to the NFL Player Safety Committee, it is presented by a former team doctor, Dr. Julian Bales, "one of their own," as he states.
The time has come when player safety is in the forefront and winning at all costs is no longer accepted.
