“Jury of Her Peers” — A Conversation with the Cast & Creator of the New Film

In 1900, Iowa farmer John Hossack was murdered in his sleep. His wife, Margaret, claimed she didn’t hear a thing. But two women, brought into her home under the guise of gathering belongings, noticed what clues the men missed and the silent unraveling of a life in isolation.

This real case inspired Susan Glaspell’s iconic short story A Jury of Her Peers, a quietly revolutionary piece of feminist literature. And now, over a century later, it’s being reimagined for the screen in a new, emotionally resonant film.

In this episode, we sit down with the creative team behind the project—writer and director William Rock and actors Brianne Magel, Stephanie Schneider, and Cheyenne Goode—to talk about the real case, the themes of justice and gender, and how they brought this powerful story to life.

We explore:

The history and legacy of the Hossack case
Creative changes in the adaptation (including intriguing character shifts)
Behind-the-scenes moments on set
Why this story still resonates today
The emotional silence at the heart of justice

This is a conversation about truth, empathy, resistance—and the quiet ways women have always known how to find each other.
