Imagining the Indian: The Fight Against Native American Mascoting
Examining the movement that is ending the use of Native American names, logos, and mascots in the world of sports and beyond.

Pat Tillman never thought of himself as a hero. His choice to leave a multimillion-dollar football contract and join the military wasn't done for any reason other than he felt it was the right thing to do. The fact that the military manipulated his tragic death in the line of duty into a propaganda tool is unfathomable and thoroughly explored in Amir Bar-Lev's riveting and enraging documentary.
