A Força da Verdade

A história

Este filme dá a conhecer a luta de Dr. Bennet Omalu, neuropatologista forense de renome, contra a National Football League (NFL), para que fossem reconhecidos os elevados riscos cerebrais a que os jogadores de futebol americano estão sujeitos. Investigações levadas a cabo pelo Dr. Bennet Omalu em jogadores de futebol americano decobriram uma grande incidência de Encefalopatia Traumática Crónica (CTE), uma doença cerebral degenerativa que afeta principalmente pessoas com histórico de lesões constantes, mesmo que leves, na cabeça. Uma doença outrora associada a lutadores de ringue e por isso até então conhecida como demência pugilística. O primeiro caso entre jogadores de futebol americano da doença foi descrito em 2002, em Mike Webster, ex-Pittsburgh Steelers.
