Presents a revealing documentary about the silent concussion crisis in American sports. Athletes from the professional to the youth levels share their personal struggles in dealing with the devastating and long term effects of concussions, an epidemic fueled by the "leave everything on the field" culture so prominent in American sport. Inspired by events from the book ‘Head Games’ written by former Ivy League Football Player and WWE Wrestler Christopher Nowinski, the film contrasts eye opening evidence and cutting edge science on head trauma from the nation’s leading medical experts with first hand accounts from professional and amateur athletes, coaches, and parents who must tread the difficult balance between sports excellence and basic self preservation.
