“The Boston Marathon bombing is an iconic and tragic event in American history that tapped into our deepest fears and inspired acts of profound courage and heroism, and this series is an attempt to remember what it happened and why so that we can learn from it about ten years after it first shocked and captivated the world,” Russell said.

“Ten years have passed, but to this day, most people don’t really know what exactly happened that week and, more importantly, why. Why would someone do something so horrible? By delving into first-hand accounts from survivors, law enforcement, and those who knew the attackers, we hope to provide conclusive insight into the event,” Russ added.
