reflection - reenactment


The boston bombings was a tragic event that happened in april 2013 that took the lives of 3 people and injured 264 others. However i dont want to focus on the bombings them selfs i want to tell the story of what happened afterwards.

adrianne haslet, is a 32 year old dancer who got her a leg blown off in the event. 
I want to tell her story about how despite its all she still has not lost hope and will dance again. 
Through out all the aftermath of the bombings  boston kept up spirits  by using the motto ' boston strong' and this is reflected in adriannes spirit. 

here are some news articles about adrianne
 i am going to use some of the quotes she said in the articles in my script.

Ext : footage found online of people running the marathon.

Unfortunately 3 people were killed in the Boston bombings and 264 others were injured, however this is not a story about death, bombs or terrorism, this is my story of … hope.

As clips of the second bombing go off  we here a shell shock noise and suddenly change to adriannas point of view as she falls to the ground from the explosion. 

Aidrianna – breathing heavily
Im ok, im ok , im ok

Fireman – shouting
Hey she has to go, quick

Adrianna looks down at her foot and starts to panic

Aidrianna
im a ball room dancer please save my foot

Fireman – shouting
Dude, SHE HAS TO GO


Aidrianna – breathing heavily
Please im a dancer can you please save my foot , please I am going to die.

As aidriana continues to panic, she is whisked of into an ambulance and baffled by the whole situation

Dancing is all I care about, it makes me feel better when im sad that’s why loosing a leg is going to be hard for me because it’s a feeling I get unlike any other and I just want to get up and dance but I cant

Aidrianna starts to dance in her bed.

I am lucky to have a support group of  all these amazing people. They aloud me to cry and be me and go through the dirty part of this  because this is the longet I have gone without dancing

I want to dance again and I will, in fact next year I will be able to run the marathon.
