Poe W Jan 1, 2018 Not just your average crime-type doc on the bombers nor a catered sports doc for marathon runners, this is a very well made history film and human view on a specific event that has brought the attention of the world to women athletes and a communal love for many different personal reasons. Of course the Boston bombing takes up a small portion but the majority of it is very engaging to watch just for the historical factor of the race throughout the years. See more
