In the mean time, veterans day 2015 had an extra special significance yesterday, marking 70 years actually since the end of world war ii. And as we honored our nations servicemen and women the Empire State Building here in new york blazed in a beautiful red, white and blue. Abcs brandi hitt has more.

His role as a director making a discovery involving football and brain trauma. Thats straight ahead. Okay. So it may be one of the most dramatic turns in his movie career yet. Will smith playing a doctor linking football to brain trauma. The film premiered last night at the afi fest and kabcs George Pennacchio was there. I found a disease that no one has ever seen. Reporter concussion tells the story of dr. Bennet omalu a forensic neuropathologist who discovered a footballrelated trauma to the brain called cte. The doctor goes in for the fight of his life, up against the powerful nfl, which tried to discredit his findings. Will smith plays the doctor. When i met with dr. Omalu, the last thing i wanted to do was make this movie. I did not want to be the guy that had to deliver this information. Repetitive head trauma chokes the brain. It turns you into someone else. Tape, needles, vicodin. Toradol. Whatever it takes to keep them in the game. Its business. Im a football dad, and i didnt know. So i just felt really inspired by dr. Omalu to tell this truth and deliver this truth to other parents. You know, we have to know. Reporter former nfl stars made their way to this premiere. Matthew willig is even one of the costars. It is a thing that i worry about moving forward. You know, who knows . Who knows down the line where my brain leads . Reporter leonard marshall, who played with the new york giants for ten seasons, tested positive for cte. And although the nfl has not said we knew about this, i think this films going to make a major statement. So i think its important that we teach little kids and kids who are coming up to play the game in the next five, ten, 15, 20 years, they understand how to play the game. Its just about a corporation knowing something and not telling anybody. So it was a great story. I think that middleaged overweight white guys are the new villains and thats what im playing in this movie. Youre going to have to wait a while to see concussion.
