Megan Williams and Eleanor Bingham Miller are producers of the fascinating and heart-wrenching documentary “Boston” about the history of the Boston Marathon, the tragic 2013 terrorist bombing at the finish line, and how the Marathon came back the following year. Narrated by Boston native Matt Damon, the documentary (which is available on Amazon Prime and iTunes) highlights the Marathon’s symbol of strength in the face of adversity, as well as the struggles faced by women, disabled contestants, and others to be included in the race. The theme of a community rebuilding itself after unspeakable tragedy is as resonant today as ever.Before producing “Boston,” both Williams and Miller helped redefine the role of independent documentary cinema as part of the ground-breaking video journalism collective “TVTV” (“Top Value TV”), which is the subject of the documentary “TVTV: Video Revolutionaries.” Miller and Williams have produced documentaries such as TVTV’s “Lord Of The Universe” (about the insidious effects of the cult of personality) and Miller’s “The New Klan: Heritage of Hate” that have unsettling parallels with the re-emergence of hate groups in the wake of the 2016 election.
