Sharon Liese’s SEIZED, a gripping Sundance documentary on the 2023 police raid of the Marion County Record, won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature at the 35th Florida Film Festival, highlighting its timely examination of press freedom and power.
When the small town of Marion, Kansas, is thrust into the international spotlight after a police raid on the Marion County Record and the death of its 98-year-old co-owner, a fierce debate ignites about the abuse of power, journalistic ethics, local journalism, and the United States Constitution.
