The Tillman Story (2010), directed by Amir Bar-Lev. This documentary explores the story of Pat Tillman, the pro football player who gave up his multimillion-dollar career to join the Army and fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was killed there, and his surviving family comes forward in this film to discuss how the government lied to them and attempted to manipulate them in the aftermath of his death. The fact that he was killed by friendly fire was withheld from the public and from his family, and the movie delves into the facts behind the official story. Unfortunately, satisfactory answers are not forthcoming, and all we are left with is the knowledge that the generals lied. The subtitles are very good. Grade: B
