When Pat Tillman left the NFL in 2002 to join the US Army he became something of a national hero. When he was killed in Afghanistan in 2004, the military and government used him as a propaganda tool in support of the War. When his family had difficulty obtaining information surrounding his death, they began to realize that there had been a massive cover up. Directed by Amir Bar-Lev, Tillman is a riveting and enraging documentary, told through the voices of Pat's family and fellow soldiers (with narration by the terrific Josh Brolin).
