Driven by broad public interest, strong reviews, and word of mouth, the film is currently in the midst of a six-week regional theatrical release. The run has reached 28 screens across Minnesota and is now expanding into North Dakota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Iowa.The regional expansion follows national exposure. On July 17, ABC’s flagship investigative series “20/20” devoted a two-hour episode to the Wetterling case. The broadcast revisited the investigation with new insights and featured excerpts from the documentary, along with an interview with director Chris Newberry.Newberry, a Minneapolis-based filmmaker, spent a decade working on the project, a process that began just as the perpetrator in Wetterling’s 1989 abduction was apprehended.“The legacy of the Wetterling family and their love for their son have kept us motivated during the ten years needed to tell the story in Echoes in the Night,” Newberry said. “We’re so proud to finally be able to share the deepest account of what happened not only to a family but to a community.”Newberry emphasized that it is a privilege to have the Wetterling family embrace the film as it highlights how their enduring advocacy work made the world a safer place for subsequent generations of children.The Fargo Theatre screening marks a return to the city for Newberry, whose films have appeared at the Fargo Film Festival on several occasions. An acclaimed director and 2014 regional Emmy Award winner, his work has aired on PBS series such as “America ReFramed” and “Independent Lens,” as well as on several international networks.His first feature-length documentary, “American Heart,” won six film festival prizes before its 2015 PBS World Channel debut, and his follow-up, “Trusted Messenger,” aired internationally on the Al Jazeera Documentary Channel. Beyond directing, Newberry served as producer and cinematographer for Norah Shapiro’s “Time For Ilhan,” which premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination.<blockquote>Echoes in the Night: The Search for Jacob WetterlingEchoes in the Night: The Search for Jacob Wetterling</blockquote></div></body>
