The Tillman Story Trailer: Get Ready to Get Angry

I really can't wait to see how a certain right-wing movie blog deals with this one -- who's smearable, who are the easy ideological targets in The Tillman Story. The trailer for the acclaimed Sundance alumnus has made its way online, offering moviegoers' first glimpse at the riveting, devastating expose about the cover-up surrounding the death of football player-turned-soldier Pat Tillman.

After Movieline gave you the lowdown from Sundance and the first look at the Tillman Story poster, the trailer peels back a few preliminary layers of the documentary the Weinstein Company hopes can help elevate it back to Oscar heights next year. Moreover, director Amir Bar-Lev has a story to tell about the mistreatment of a soldier, his family and an entire American public by a government preoccupied with preserving the heroic tradition of its military at any costs -- even at the expense of a selfless troop's legacy.

The trailer -- and the film -- speak for itself; TWC will roll it out nationwide starting August 20.
