The Tillman Story (2010)




Genres: Documentary
Running Time: 1 hr. 34 min.
Release Date: August 20th, 2010 (limited)

Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death.

Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat's fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.

I wanted to see this on my birthday but it is only playing in Los Angeles and NY. You think, even with a limited release, they would include Phoenix considering Tilman's impact on this state.

While the film opens Aug. 20, it’s likely to reach local theaters Sept. 3.

It is more than likely it will be at the Harkins Camelview or the Harkins on Mill. I jut hope this plays out here in Connecticut otherwise I'll have to make a trip down to NYC to see it.

The Harkins on Mill is playing a movie called Restrepo

And the Camelview theater is not playing it either

If anyone can find the Tilman movie in AZ please let me know! I am sure it will get here eventually but right now it's only playing in NY and CA

That's good news. I figured it would be released nationwide within the next week or two. I just don't get why they decided to pick LA and not AZ for the limited release location. Why not both?

Most ( if not all) limited releases are only shown in NY and LA.

If you cancel, I think they make you pay for a month's worth.
