Cable channel HBO on Friday released the first trailer for
its documentary "Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing" which will
be screened on Nov. 21.
The documentary uses surveillance footage, news clips and home
movies to examine the bombing that killed three people and
wounded more than 260 near the marathon route's finish line in
central Boston in April 2013. It will also feature interviews
with first responders and survivors, and the trial, conviction
and death-penalty sentencing of bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan, died following a shootout
with police in the suburb of Watertown, Massachusetts, after
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ran him over in a hijacked sport utility
vehicle. The brothers, ethnic Chechens, had immigrated to the
United States from Russia a decade before the attack.
The attack is also the subject of a Hollywood feature film
called "Patriots Day," starring Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Bacon,
that will be released in late December and is seen as a possible
awards contender.
A third film, "Stronger," starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is expected
to be released in 2017.
