Product Description

From its humble origins 120 years ago to present day, Boston immerses the viewer into the wondrous kaleidoscope of the oldest annually contested marathon in the world.

Evolving from a workingman s challenge to welcoming foreign athletes and eventually women, the iconic race paved the way for the modern marathon and mass participatory sports.

Narrated by Academy Award® winner Matt Damon, Boston features many of running s greatest champions including Shalane Flanagan, Meb Keflezighi, Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter and Joan Benoit Samuelson.

Review

The long, rich and, more recently, tragic history of the marathon is traced with involving detail and heart in Jon Dunham s inspiring documentary, narrated by Beantown native Matt Damon. --Los Angeles Times

A worthy tribute bound to illuminate and inspire. --Variety

Emotional and thrilling, without gloss or cliche. --Village Voice

Inspiring Documentary

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

I love this documentary, however I'll have to admit I'm biased since I'm a runner! I never have run Boston, but remember the day of the bombing, because I was out running that morning hoping to get back in time to catch a glimpse of the race on t.v. when I returned. It seems like a million years ago now, and just stumbled onto to documentary thanks to Amazon. Initially I was a little reluctant to watch it, because I didin't want to be reminded of the day of the bombing, however my curiosity got the best of me and I'm glad it did. The documentary is put together well, and it left me feeling more motivated and determined to keep running, just like those who returned the following year after the bombing to run Boston. It's a great documentary about a great race in a great city, and I am glad I watched it!

Another great documentary! MUST SEE

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020

If you are a runner, or even just an athlete this is a must see. I loved hearing about the history of the marathon to the history of the Boston marathon. Seeing the very first races to the very first women ever running a marathon. Boston is a great host to the most well known and poplar marathon, and to watch the event is just mezmermizing. It is also very sad to see and hear about the Boston bombing of 2013, but so amazing to see the city and all the countries athletes come together to make sure this is not a forgotten event, but BOSTON STRONG!!!

Boston, and then some

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

Track is my sport, and I usually nitpick when I see it featured in a movie or documentary. "Boston," though, is pitch-perfect. It gives a good history of the event, and has terrific background pieces with people like Amby Burfoot, Bill Rodgers, Shalane Flanagan and others. The movie tells the story of the 2014 race (the first after the 2013 bombing), and is uplifting without being cloying or manipulative. "Boston" is genuine and well produced. Every aspiring distance runner should watch it. Actually, anyone who wants to watch a feel-good movie that just happens to be centered around sports should watch it!

Great film but suffers from manufacturing defect.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

Beautiful film and composition of material.

Physically, the disc had one area where it skipped/failed to read. This was probably about halfway or 75% of the way through the film. Disc didn’t appear to have any scratches or visible defects. Could be manufacturing error.

Other than that, it’s a good documentary. It gets 4 stars as a product due to the reading error. The documentary itself gets 5 stars. But I could only rate it one way.

The Boston Marathon captured in amber

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

Outstanding job of weaving together the 100+ years of Boston history. Some of the archival footage is more than memorable. Jon Dunham excels in striking just the right tone to capture the various eras of the Boston Marathon, including years when the race nearly went extinct, and how the BAA struggled and succeeded in bringing it back as the premier marathon event in the world. Some of the little stories within the whole are gems of video narration. Was disappointed to see that there was so little made of the 1982 Duel in the Sun, but from what Jon says, there is so little footage of that classic race that would have been difficult to capture its true magnitude. Can't forget to mention the excellent score that accompanies the film!

Really great documentary about Boston Strong and the history of the race

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

This documentary did a great job describing the history of the oldest marathon in the world, the winners, issues, developments, and how they combatted the terrorist attacks in 2013 to come back and put on an even better marathon the next year to continue this amazing tradition. If you've never been to a Boston Marathon, it's a thing to behold, even as a spectator. I would highly recommend this well-produced documentary on an epic sporting event.

Wonderful Historical Perspective

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

Outstanding Boston marathon historical perspective with classic video archives and perspectives from winners, participants and organizers. The bombing provides a chilling perspective but it all comes out with the positive aspect of the oldest US Marathon and the most elite. Incredible race footage and the most poignant point for me was watching Billy Rodgers and Amby Burfoot getting ready for a present day run then slowly ambling down the road

Feel Good Doc

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

Very well made. Timeline history of some memorable moments in Boston Marathon History (strong focus on the 2013 edition). Makes you feel good. Makes you want to go out for a run. Also, the Boston Marathon just made qualification even harder, you gotta be 5 minutes faster! Good luck.
