PBS's Frontline Spotlights Neuropathology in Documentary Film
In the film, which airs Tuesday, Oct. 8 beginning at 9 pm EST,

Oh! Thanks, jd. I guess I'll change the post to take out the word "premieres". Thank again!!
Victor Alvarez, one of our former fellows, is in this but is never mentioned by name. He is seen receiving a brain shipment from FedEx at the Bedford VA.
There is now a movie based on Bennet Omalu starring Will Smith, filmed here in Pittsburgh and set to be released Dec 25, 2015.
