"I saw the bomber. He took my legs, but he didn’t break me…He only made me STRONGER.” -Jeff Bauman

The trailer of Stronger, a film adaptation of APB speaker Jeff Bauman’s book on the Boston marathon bombing, was just released! The film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, tells Jeff’s story of resilience and triumph. Before April 15, 2013, Bauman was a normal 27-year-old. After the bombing, which claimed both of his legs, he emerged a hero and a fighter. Credited with identifying those guilty of the crime, Bauman contributed to making justice happen for so many who suffered that day. The film is set to be released in September of this year.
