BOSTON (AP) — A film chronicling the story of Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman premiered in the U.S. on Tuesday at the hospital where he and others who were injured in the 2013 deadly attack were treated.
Dozens of people attended the screening of "Stronger" at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. The movie is based on Bauman's 2014 memoir of the same name.
The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Bauman, who lost his legs in the attack, and "Orphan Black" actress Tatiana Maslany as Bauman's then-girlfriend, Erin Hurley. Bauman, Hurley and their on-screen counterparts graced a red carpet at the hospital on Tuesday with director David Gordon Green, producer Todd Lieberman and writer John Pollono.
