Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Pat Tillman never thought of himself as a hero. His choice to leave a multimillion-dollar football contract and join the military wasn't done for any reason other than he felt it was the right thing to do. The fact that the military manipulated his tragic death in the line of duty into a propaganda tool is unfathomable and thoroughly explored in Amir Bar-Lev's riveting and enraging documentary.

Mary Tillman:
He was a human being. And by putting this kind of heroic, saintly quality on him, you're taking away the struggle of being a human being. See more » |
