Emmy Award winning The Interrupters), Head Games: The Global Concussion
Crisis is a revealing documentary featuring
never-before-seen neurological findings related to rugby and soccer players
that will serve as a wake-up call for those who think that the devastating
chronic effects of repetitive head trauma are only an American football and
boxing injury.

Crisis exposes a problem that has undeniably become a
silent epidemic on a global scale. Internationally respected medical experts,
professional and amateur athletes and their families will offer eye-opening
insights and cutting edge science on head trauma that will demand that the
perception of concussion change to guarantee the health and safety of athletes
as a top priority.
