THE TILLMAN STORY
A documentary directed by Amir Bar-Lev
Coming soon

The legend was written before the truth was known.

When Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army, he became an instant symbol of patriotism and duty. The government tried to turn his death into war propaganda ... but the truth about Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately far more heroic, than the caricature.
