"Tillman Story" Director Describes Quest for Truth
New in theaters this weekend: a documentary focusing on the Afghanistan death of former NFL player and US Army Ranger Pat Tillman.
His death was initially attributed to enemy action but later blamed on "friendly fire."
KYW's Steve Nikazy spoke with the director of The Tillman Story.
(clip from movie:) "What they said happened, didn't happen. And so, you have to set the record straight."
The Tillman Story is a movie about a family crusade to pressure the military to reveal the truth about the death of an American hero. Amir Bar-Lev (right) is the director:
"As soon as we started talking with Pat's family, we understood that we had only gotten the tip of the iceberg, that actually it was a coverup that was more profound than we had understood."
