Erschütternde Wahrheit (2015)
Bei der Autopsie von Mike Webster macht Dr. Bennet Omalu eine schockierende Entdeckung: Er diagnostiziert erstmals bei einem ehemaligen Profi-Spieler des American Footballs die chronisch traumatische Enzephalopathie (CTE). Sie tritt meist bei Menschen auf, die häufigen Schlägen auf den Kopf ausgesetzt sind und ruft Symptome wie Depression, Demenz und Verhaltensveränderungen hervor. Der brillante Arzt will zu seiner Diagnose, die auch durch die Untersuchung anderer Ex-Sportler wie Dave Duerson und Andre Waters bekräftigt wird, nicht schweigen und die Öffentlichkeit stattdessen vor den gesundheitlichen Risiken des Sports warnen. Unterstützt wird Omalu von seinem Kollegen Dr. Julian Bailes – doch er macht sich auch mächtige Feinde wie die NFL, angeführt von Roger Goodell. Die Organisation streitet die Verantwortung für die folgenschweren Kopfverletzungen ab und setzt Omalu zusehends unter Druck, unter dem auch seine Frau Prema zu leiden hat…
