F&V Chair Bruce Sheridan (Producer) and Steve James (Director) are the team behind Head Games, one of the Chicago Reader's ten best bet movie picks this fall, one of The Hollywood Reporter's Major Threats Oscar contenders for Best Documentary Feature, and recently awarded Best Documentary at the Boston Film Festival.

Head Games is a revealing documentary about the concussion crisis in sports. Athletes and parents share their personal struggles in dealing with concussions from the professional to youth levels. From acclaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters) and award-winning producer Bruce Sheridan, Head Games takes a deeper look at the devastating and long-term effects of concussions in all sports. Inspired by events from the book Head Games written by Christopher Nowinski, the film offers eye-opening insight and cutting-edge science on head trauma from the nation's leading medical experts.
