Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: Big Hits, Broken Dreams

On any given Friday at countless American high schools over four million kids are playing tackle football. Those kids are going head to head and helmet to helmet. But this isn't all fun and games. This sport can be as dangerous as it gets.

Just ask the team at JH Rose High School in North Carolina. Three years ago, the worst happened to this championship team. A tragedy they've little explored, until now. There's a price to be paid by these players on the front lines and lessons to be learned from their experience.

CNN's Senior Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta spent the season with the Rose Rampants, a team trying hard to turn tragedy into triumph. But can they win games and stay safe?

You'll meet players, families and doctors who will tell you something you might not want to hear.. but its something that may just save our kids.

"Big Hits, Broken Dreams" premieres this Sunday at 8:00 pm ET, replaying at 11:00 pm ET and 2:00 am ET.

Twisted Justice: A night that changed three lives forever

On October 3, 1996, New York City transit police officer Richard DiGuglielmo Jr. stopped by his family’s deli in Dobb’s Ferry, New York, to help his father, who was recovering from a heart attack, with the pre-dinner rush.

Due to tenants’ complaints about the lack of parking, Richard Sr., was protective of the small lot in front. So when amateur boxer Charles Campbell pulled into a spot reserved for “patrons only,” DiGuglielmo Sr. asked him to move to a nearby lot. Campbell refused and a fight ensued. Campbell then produced a baseball bat and DiGuglielmo Jr. produced a gun.

When it was over, Campbell, who was black, was shot dead.

DiGuglielmo Jr., who is white, says he was trying to save his father’s life.

CNN's Deborah Feyerick examines the case against an ex-cop who's now sitting in prison - maybe for life - even after a judge ruled that his trial was full of holes.

It is a story of anger, and a death that started over a parking space.

Twisted Justice is one of two revealing investigations you won’t want to miss on CNN Presents this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, reairing at 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.

Narco Wars: Murder in Honduras

It’s a country with the highest homicide rate in the world, where you can literally get away with murder because so few serious crimes are solved. As a result, it's become the main corridor for cocaine coming north from Colombia. That nation is Honduras. Along with its neighbors Guatemala and El Salvador, it's the deadliest region on earth.

CNN’s Kaj Larsen takes you to homicide scenes, meets coffin makers, and embeds with police operations that barely hold the line against the region’s powerful street gangs.

He also introduces you to brave people trying to make a difference, from the outreach workers for Doctors Without Borders – who walk the most violent streets in the world - to the officials fighting the region’s endemic corruption.

Don’t miss Narco Wars on CNN Presents this Sunday at 8:00 pm ET, re-airing at 11:00 pm and 2:00 am.

Exclusive: Doctors cheated on exams

Have radiologists routinely cheated for years on medical exams to get board-certified by getting the actual answers in advance? That’s what a doctor at renowned military hospital alleges has been going on for at least a decade. He provided CNN with several years of what’s known as “recalls” – the actual questions and answers from real exams.

Here’s how it works – right after the test is completed, the test taker immediately writes down the questions and answers. These are compiled and shared with other residents who will be taking the test.

CNN's Drew Griffin investigates the use of “recall exams” by radiology residents – a practice the American Board of Radiology calls cheating.

One of three riveting stories airing on CNN Presents Saturday at 8:00 pm ET, reairing at 11:00 pm ET and 2:00 am ET.
