If you read Dennis Lehane you know he’s one brilliant Dot Rat. I’m a huge fan of history so watching him give this little tour based on his book The Given Day was awesome. I’m not 100%, but I thought I read somewhere this was going to become another movie.
How much do you know about the Boston Police strike of 1919? Could you imagine the BPD walking off the job today? Would you just defend your property or try and stockpile your basement with stolen beer? Ummm yeah….pencil me in for both…besides the striking cops would probably hang out and throw back a few.

I think The Given Day would be best on AMC or HBO. The book is so detailed that a two hour movie wont do it justice.
