Offical Trailer For Amir Bar-Lev's 'THE TILMAN STORY'



source Yahoo
The Weinstein Company (via Yahoo) have released the feature trailer for Amir Bar-Lev's documentary THE TILMAN STORY.
The documentary follows the life of Pat Tilman a promising American footballer who had a multi-million contract ahead of him who decides to join the army who get stationed in Afghanistan and is tragically killed. The details of how this man died (and like many other soldiers) remains a mystery and sadly his  tragic death was manipulated into a propaganda incident.
I'm not American but I have slight inkling about the story but dont know the reasons how this man who just thought it was right to do the what he beleived in serve his country was tragically killed and his death disrespected. According to other movie sites whom have seen this movie (8.5 out of 10 rating at this years sundance), it's a emtional  rollercoaster that people have to see.
Sounds like another governmental cover-up, the documentary is going to get a cinematical release in USA on August 20th, as for UK or Ireland there is no word but depending on its sucess stateside we may see a limited release.

Check out the trailer after the break...

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 certain themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.
