Netflix has released a new documentary about the Boston Marathon bombing.
American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing covers the police's search for the two brothers who carried out the bombing that sent the city into a lockdown. The two terrorists, brothers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, planted two homemade pressure cooker bombs in the crowds near the finish line of the marathon, which detonated and killed three people, as well as injuring hundreds of others.
The documentary series will take viewers through the four days following the attack as police and the FBI combed the city looking for the bombers. Boston will mark the 10 year anniversary of the attack this week on April 15 with One Boston Day, a day for acts of charity and kindness around the city.
