Well-made documentary about the Boston bombing that took place during the Boston marathon in 2013.

With tons of video-footage covering most aspects the actual marathon, the bombing and even the chase of the suspects afterwards etc, but it's first and foremost a documentary about the victims and about overcoming a tragedy.

Focusing primarily on some of the survivors dealing with the aftermath, not only physical issues such as losing limbs but mental as well and we get to follow them around on a day to day basis as they try to piece their lives back together.

It gets very emotional at times and it was a struggle occasionally to hold the tears back.

So yeah most definitely worth watching.

I went into this with the expectation of getting an account of the lead-up to the bombing, the bombing it self, and the subsequent investigation. These things are covered a little. Those parts were well done.

However, the documentary spends the vast majority of the time talking about the injuries to a few specific victims. That was interesting, initially. But it dragged on too much, and started to feel repetitive. This wouldn't be as much of an issue if all of personal stuff was segmented to one continuous timespan. Then I could just fast forward. That was not easy to do here, because it frequently jumped back and forth between stories about injuries, and information about the events and investigation.
