Review of The Tillman Story (2010) by Adam B — 04 Mar 2011
Pat Tillman is infamous for walking away from a multi-million dollar football career to enilst with the Army Rangers as a result of his anger over the events of 9/11.
His death in Afghanistan made him an instant hero and symbol of American pride in the war on terror. Unfortunately, there was much more to the story what could have been a story of valor turns into one of lies, manipulation and propoganda. Tillman was not killed by enemy forces, but by friendly fire. The suceeding cover-up is detailed via Tillman's family as well as some fellow Rangers.
This documentary is harrowing and should make you angry. It does what it is supposed to do and cements Pat Tillman's legacy. Why this was overlooked for various Documentary award recognition is beyond me.
