An excellent but wrenching film, Tillman's parents (Mom especially) are heroic IMO.

I read 'Where Men Win Glory' by Jon Krakauer a couple of years ago (which IIRC the film is lightly based on) and I was a bit dubious about the effect the book had on me being brought to the screen but IMO the film is a total success.

'The Tillman Story' should have been shown in every theatre in the US.
