Procurados - EUA: O Atentado à Maratona de Boston

Just watch the 3 episodes back to back and I honestly sat in awe. Very rare a documentary gives all sides of the spectrum and in such an honest hard hitting way. Being from another part of the world I remember the event but never realised how long it went on for or the events that took place during it. The makers give you an hour by hour story from the people who were involved. From the top to bottom of the authorities and police. The victims,the public and the culprits are all given to you too. I was gripped after the first 30 minutes and just couldn't switch it off. Your pulled in and want to be there until the end. Which has in my eyes ,the right one too. Give it a go. I can't recommend it enough.

Other than having viewed other documentaries, and a recent drama tv-series about the triple murder that happened a few months before the marathon bombings, that this maybe one of the sturdiest and most neutral of them all.

Based on interviews of victims, runners, friends and law enforcement , a massive surge of new reels and amateur footage and stills, and lets not forget the terrible heartshooting sounds of screams and the shootouts from the manhunt.

What i miss though , is the part that i find most peculiar that they do not air, is the lack of interviews from the initial custodial moments, there must be hundreds of hours of search and research from the criminologists and psychologists that mustve interviewed the culprit, and this documentary doesnt give you a clue what happened in the courts. That should be the next story to tell for us non bostoners and non citizens of the usa(im norwegian).

Im not calling out for an hero, cause that is of course all the massachutinarians, but a bit more of the works of miss justicia wouldnt harm the case. As a conclusion i would say that matters of this kind will never come to an end, and im afraid that something like this will happen again. So in the mean time my message to the survivors and the people that lost loved ones, STAY STRONG FOREVER, and stay together in the memory of the deceased.

Well made and intense documentary, a recommend from the grumpy old man.

This three-part series is a broad and profound look into the events, and people, connected with the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon. It's an especially interesting character study of those who were responsible for the bombing, and of those who were most affected on the day of the Marathon- and the week that followed. The actual terrorists, the local Boston Police, the FBI, along with the local and National Media, are all examined and well represented. Those who were interviewed all have very intriguing stories to tell. Extremely well edited and produced with emotional testimonies. It was compelling from start to finish. I highly recommend this docuseries as it was well worth the three hours. I give it a strong 8. If you're even remotely interested to know what happened at the 2013 Boston Marathon, watch this, right now.

So I'll start by sharing that the documentary coverage of this tragic event was well done. They did a great job of capturing the horror and trauma of the victims. The viewer is able to really get inside the emptions and shock felt by those present and those impacted by what happened. My heart truly goes out to the victims of this horrible act of terrorism. Another positive is the coverage of the investigation and manhunt for the perpetrators. I thought they did an excellent job of capturing this thing from the perspective of those in law enforcement. But I will say that the choices of some of the other commentary were just horrible. One prime example is the investigative journalist (Phillip Martin). I'm sorry, but this guy was just a joke. Every single thing he said was sharply slanted against law enforcement. He was so painfully transparent in his hate for law enforcement, with nothing but sharp criticism for every single thing they did. The law enforcement officials were tasked with such an incredibly difficult job in this scenario. You can't blame the police because a bomber is shooting at them. Are they not supposed to shoot back? Wasn't it their primary job to bring in the perpetrators and stop them from taking any more acts of terror? If they hadn't caught these guys, who knows what they'd have done next. The investigative journalist obviously had no clue at all about what it's like to be taking fire and putting your life on the line to stop a terrorist. They also interviewed one of the friends of the younger bomber, and he was angered when they finally caught him because they thought he might be dead. How inconceivably insensitive to the victims of these guys' horrible act! Anyway, these views really bothered me and completely turned me off whenever these interviewees opened their mouths. Other than that, it was a good ducumentary about this situation.

I liked this docuseries. I like that the show focused more on the investigation than on the bombers. It didn't glamorize them or make them look 'badass'. It showed them as criminals with miserable life who did terrible things and ruined other's lives.

The series showed real footage, mixed with a reenactment, and interviews that show what happened. It's so sad to see how the bombing messed up the people and the city, but also interesting to see how the city fought back and helped each other. The show also explores the reasons why the guys did it and how they got brainwashed. Overall, i think it's a good docuseries.
