SUMMARY:Seized
DESCRIPTION:Online Ticket Sales have closed. Please visit the Liberty Hall Box Office for tickets. \nThe Kansas premiere of the highly anticipated documentary fresh from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival accompanied by a post-screening Q&A with Director Sharon Liese\, Producer Paul Matyasovsky\, and Kansas Public Radio’s Kaye McIntyre! The Q&A will also feature Marion County Record Editor Eric Meyer\, former Marion County Record Reporter Phyllis Zorn\, and Marion County Record Attorney Bernie Rhodes. This event is made possible by support from the Lawrence Journal-World and the KU William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. \nRun time: 1 hr 34 min \nABOUT THE FILM\nSeized is a gripping\, stranger-than-fiction investigative thriller that plunges audiences inside the troubling police raid on the Marion County Record. What begins as a shocking small-town incident quickly spirals into a national story\, exposing how corruption\, politics\, and decades-long tensions turned a quaint Kansas community into a battleground over the First and Fourth Amendments. The film unfolds in real time through police body-cam and surveillance footage\, revealing the raid’s chaos\, the bombshells that followed\, and the devastating personal toll on the newsroom\, including the tragic death of its 98-year-old co-owner.
