American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing

American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing is a three-part Netflix documentary that reconstructs the events surrounding the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the subsequent manhunt for its perpetrators.

The documentary combines archive footage, news clips and interviews with those involved, including police officers, survivors, journalists and researchers, to create a detailed picture of how the attack took place, how authorities tracked down the suspects and the impact it had on the city and its residents.

In addition to the search for the perpetrators, the documentary explores broader themes such as the role of surveillance cameras, the power of social media in the investigation, and the difficulties faced by law enforcement. The documentary shows how Boston came to a temporary standstill and how the combined efforts of police and residents led to the denouement of one of the largest manhunts in recent American history.
