10 January 2017

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Peter Berg and starring Mark Wahlberg, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, J.K. Simmons and Michelle Monaghan, “Patriots Day” is an account of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the everyday heroes who inspired the world in the extraordinary hours that followed. The movie provided the audience with a stimulating account of the aftermath of the attack through convincing acting, chilling detail, and nail-biting suspense.

The movie also revealed just how vulnerable the global community is to terrorism, and is very pertinent to NFEC’s message on the importance of civil emergency preparedness and SGSecure’s call for all Singaporeans to be vigilant and resilient in the current security climate.

The NFEC is grateful to all patrons for their generous support and attendance at the Charity Film Premiere. With the funds raised from the Charity Film Premiere, the NFEC hopes to be able to continue to contribute to the safety and security of Singapore through its various public education and engagement initiatives and activities.
