From Patriots Day:
From acclaimed director Peter Berg (“Deepwater Horizon,” “Lone Survivor”) and Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg (“The Departed,” “Lone Survivor”), CBS Films and Lionsgate present “Patriots Day.” Based on true events, “Patriots Day” is a powerful story of a community’s extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. An account of the events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing, the tension-packed dramatic thriller chronicles in detail one of the most sophisticated and well-coordinated manhunts in law enforcement history.
The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing shattered lives and tested the fabric of the American spirit. But in its wake, an entire city came together to bring the perpetrators to justice before they could inflict further damage. Rather than give themselves over to panic and fear, the citizens of Boston banded together, choosing solidarity over divisiveness in pursuit of a common enemy.
From RP Staff:
There's a chance that Director Peter Berg and Sgt Jeff Pugliese might visit us at RP to answer some of your questions about the film. In advance of our discussion with them, let us know what you would ask if you could be here with us!

I added my question but a round of applause and kudos out to those of you who asked some great questions. This should be a great Q and A.

What is the difficulty in telling the event as it actually occurred vs. using artistic license? For example in LS Luttrell being on an operating table at the beginning as well as not discussing his broken back etc?

What's your goal in creating this film? What story arc are you trying to portray? The whacked out religious nuts who did this, the random victims of said nuts, to my knowledge, there wasn't anyone who really stood out. Everyone just did their jobs as first responders. Will this follow up the stories of the victims? A prologue as it were.
