Synopsis:
From acclaimed director Steve James (Academy Award-nominated Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters), HEAD GAMES is a revealing documentary about the concussion crisis in American sports. Fueled by the “give everything on the field” culture so prominent in American sport, the long-term effects of this silent epidemic are only recently coming to light. HEAD GAMES goes straight to the source, with athletes from the professional to the youth levels sharing their personal struggles in dealing with the devastating aftermath of their injuries, and asking the question: “How much of you are you willing to lose for a game?”
