The Kansas premiere of Seized, the highly anticipated documentary fresh from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival accompanied by a post-screening Q&A! This event is made possible by support from the Lawrence Journal-World and the KU William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications.ABOUT THE FILM
Seized 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.
