Boston Marathon Bombing survivors and
amputees Patrick Downes and Jessica Kensky
talk about what it was like to see their
story come to life on the big screen in
Patriots Day. The couple worked
closely with the filmmakers to help ensure
that the movie was accurate. In a moment
of triumph since the attack, Patrick
Downes, who lost his left leg in the
bombings, completed the 2016 Boston
Marathon (see
Patrick cross the finish line).
Jessica Kensky's road to recovery has been
longer and fraught with setbacks,
including eventually losing her right leg
too. Trusting in each other for support,
Patrick and Jessica continue to recover
and inspire others with their story. Related Article: Patriots Day: History vs. Hollywood
