American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing (Season 1)

American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing (2023) is a documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Across three episodes it walks, minute by minute, through what unfolded at the finish line in the spring of 2013.

On April 15, two homemade devices went off near the marathon's finish, killing three people and wounding hundreds. The series traces the days that came next: a city locked down, the street-camera footage that pointed to two brothers, and the night it all ended on the streets of Watertown. The story comes from people who were inside the investigation, among them Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, FBI agent Rick DesLauriers and journalist Phillip Martin.

Director Floyd Russ assembles the account from archive video, reconstructions and first-hand interviews without tipping over into true-crime sensationalism. What's left is a measured, tightly cut look at five days that held a city hostage. Stream the series online on iFILM.
