that the entire story was all part of a military cover-up. all the generals were lying. can t be sure. can t tell you. it s a guess. i don t know. i don t recall. precisely how i learned that he was killed. find out that the military were the very people that lied to us. it s outrageous! filmmaker explores this controversy in the new documentary the tillman story and joins us here right now. first of all, what inspired you to do a movie about pat tillman, an american football hero turned soldier? i think any filmmaker would have jumped at this opportunity. it doesn t come off as a documentary. you couldn t write this stuff. it s got more twists and turns than an nfl playbook and has an inspiring story, taking on the u.s. government. this this very inspiring family. and, of course, pat tillman is a great american hero who, you know, i think any filmmaker who jump at the opportunity to tell his story.
