## Resource

A gripping new documentary, “Seized,” dives into the explosive 2023 police raid on the Marion County Record newspaper, capturing the chaos, constitutional debates, and hidden community tensions that followed. Director Shanon Liese spent two and a half years uncovering not just the raid’s impact, but the deeper rifts between the paper and its town of 1,800 residents — a story far more complex than the headlines suggested. With intimate access and growing trust, Liese’s film reveals the human cost of local journalism under pressure. Now premiering in Kansas for the first time at Liberty Hall on June 28th, the screening will feature Liese, producer Paul Matyasovsky, and key figures from the paper — including editor Eric Meyer and attorney Bernie Rhodes — for a powerful Q&A. Don’t miss this vital, locally rooted story about freedom, accountability, and the price of truth in America’s heartland. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
