THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE PAIN…BUT I JUST WANT TO LIVE
Stronger is a biographical drama based on true events of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The film follows Jeff Bauman, a victim of the bombing who loses his legs as a result. Bauman helps the police track down one of the perpetrators, while struggling to recover from devastating trauma. Bauman’s perseverance through physical and mental hardship, along with the humanity embodied by those around him, is a striking testament and an inspiration to us. We all have the potential to be ‘’stronger’’.
