Boston: A NEW documentary about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings chronicles the long road to recovery for many of the survivors still struggling with physical and emotional wounds.
Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing”focuses on the stories of three families who had all been spectators near the finish line when two pressure cooker bombs detonated: a young newlywed couple, a mother and daughter and two brothers.
Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg say they set out to give an unflinching look at the ups and downs of long-term recovery from the attack, which killed three people and injured nearly 300 others.
“We felt a huge responsibility to tell a broad picture of the survivors’ story,” said Stern. “Many of the survivors feel this global relationship with other survivors of terrorist attacks."
