The Tillman Story (2009)


If you need to be more disappointed in the government, or watch political ass-kissing, or see Congress do nothing, pick up this movie. Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire. The government used Pat's death as propaganda for the enlistment office and to further its agenda in Iraq, all the while lying to Pat's family. The details are just too discouraging to hear.

This movie leaves me feeling about the same as I do after reading yet another article about the Catholic Church transferring pedophile priests from church to church. To feel better I keep reminding myself that at least in America this movie can get made. We get to complain and protest and write letters. In other countries the people don't get to complain about the government, much less make a movie like this.
