The Tillman Story

Amir Bar-Lev's gripping documentary unravels the compelling tale of Pat Tillman, an NFL star who made the unprecedented decision to abandon a lucrative football career to join the US Army. Driven by his personal convictions rather than any heroic aspirations, Tillman's selfless act is at the heart of this poignant film. However, as the story unfolds, we witness the chilling revelation that the military manipulated and exploited Tillman's tragic death in combat to serve their own propaganda purposes. Through meticulous research and interviews with those who knew Tillman, Bar-Lev exposes the horrifying truth behind a powerful narrative, creating a riveting and deeply disturbing portrait of patriotism, deception, and loss.
