Richland Source and the Renaissance Theatre collaborate to host a special hometown screening of the documentary film, A Murder in Mansfield.

The documentary focuses on the notorious murder of Noreen Boyle and the subsequent trial of her husband, Dr. John Boyle, which captivated the small city of Mansfield, Ohio for months and has since become part of local lore.

Conceived by Boyle’s son Collier Landry and directed by two-time Academy Award winner Barbara Kopple, the film is an emotional exploration of the far-reaching impact of violence on people who witness or find their lives affected by it.

Landry, formerly Collier Boyle, worked with Kopple to chart the arc of his journey through incomprehensible trauma to a climactic meeting with his father in the prison where he is serving a life sentence.

“Ever since the day we wrapped production, I have always wanted the film to be shown in Mansfield,” Landry said. “The murder of my mother had an impact on not just me and my family, but on the whole city. That collateral damage was what we tried to explore.

“Ultimately, I hope the film shows that there is a way past and through terrible times even when that feels impossible.”
