The Tillman Story

The true story of Pat Tillman, who gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002 -- and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. The truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. Pat's mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family's crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son's life and death. Featuring candid interviews with Pat's fellow soldiers as well as his family, this emotional and insightful film shines a light on the shady aftermath of his death and calls to task the entire chain of command, all while examining what it really means to be a hero.
