'The Tillman Story'

One of the saddest events in sports history is well documented in "The Tillman Story."
The 2010 film retells the story of the government's manipulation of former pro football player Pat Tillman's death. After 9/11, Tillman decided to decline an NFL contract to sign up for the Army because he felt it was the right thing to do.
He died while serving in Afghanistan, the problem was the family was not able to find out the details of his death. The government saw his death as a way to promote the war. The Tillman family fought the government, even to the point to bring it in front of Congress.
The grueling battle that ensued created a fascinating story that only ends in tragedy.
