Back at Sundance, I talked to director Amir Bar-Lev about his powerful documentary The Tillman Story, and now that the film is coming out in limited release, Movieline is republishing that very candid interview. Of particular note in this conversation? Bar-Lev’s excoriation of General Stanley McChrystal (a key figure involved with the Pat Tillman cover-up), who’s since been let go by President Obama following McChrystal’s unflattering comments about the administration in Rolling Stone.

But The Tillman Story isn’t designed to be a shockeroo exposé; it’s more a slow, steady rumble of anger and dismay at what the U.S. military, and the government, can get away with in the name of public relations, as if PR — and not human lives — were the most important consideration during wartime.

For statheads, this brings the total number of failed Bachelor -based relationships to 13. [ E! ]
