Biography: Patrick Daniel "Pat" Tillman Jr. was an American professional football player who left his career with the NFL to enlist in the United States Army in June 2002 following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He joined the Army Rangers and served several tours in combat before he was killed in the mountains of Afghanistan. The Army initially reported that Tillman had been killed by enemy fire, but the actual cause of his death was later revealed to be from friendly fire.

The Tillman Story

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.
