Adapted from the article "Game Brain" published by Jenny Marie Laskas in GQ in 2009. The film mainly describes how neurologist Bennett O 'Maru first discovered that athletes are prone to a type of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can cause them to have suicidal thoughts. The story is adapted from a true event and tells of Bennett O 'Maru, an American neurologist. He was the first to discover that American football players have a high probability of suffering from chronic brain diseases due to their profession, and thus decided to make this research public. However, this research was strongly denied by the National Football League, leaving Bennett facing a crisis that would have a strong impact on his career.[Collapse]
