Commenting on the announcement, Peter Landesman, the filmโs writer/director, said, โIโm so glad to have Leonโs music in the movie.ย His songs are a shot straight from the heart, full of feeling and emotion, power and heartbreak.ย And it’s a perfect match for the movie, because I could describe Dr. Bennet Omalu the same way โ in the movie, heโs a spiritual person, standing up on his own against a world of powerful forces, using only his smarts, his courage, and the knowledge that heโs right.ย Leonโs soulful sound and expressive words are a tremendous addition to the film.โ
Will Smith stars inย Concussion, a dramatic thriller based on the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known.
