- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: A special screening of "Jury of Her Peers", filmed in Iowa and with Albia resident Klint Sinclair in the cast, is scheduled for 7pm Friday, January 16 at Albia's historic King Opera House. Q&A with the filmmakers will follow the screening.

"Jury of Her Peers" is a murder mystery with a comedic twist that highlights an eerie true-crime case from deep in the turn-of-the-twentieth-century American heartland: the shocking – and officially unsolved – axe-murder of Iowa farmer John Hossack. The case exposed small-town rivalries and prejudices, as well as the feminine strength that has kept the incident in the public imagination for more than a century. 

Written and directed by William Rock, produced by Amy Nigg and shot by frequent 48-Hour Film Festival filmmaker John Hansen, "Jury of Her Peers" is the first feature-length film treatment of the Hossack case, though its roots in live theatre run deep.
The case was originally reported on by Davenport-born Susan Glaspell (1876-1948), then a young journalist and graduate of Drake University. Later, Glaspell would become the Pulitzer-Prize-winning “godmother of modern American drama,” penning the short play Trifles (1916), inspired by the Hossack case. "Trifles" is one of Glaspell’s best known works, is still often re-published and performed onstage, and has been adapted into an Oscar-nominated short film, as well as television productions.
