A screening of the documentary “All The Queen’s Horses” will begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Bluffton University’s Yoder Recital Hall.
The documentary focuses on the largest case of municipal fraud in American history and poses the question, “How could one woman steal $53 million without anyone noticing?”
The crime, which fed a quarter horse breeding empire, forced years of staff cuts, budget slashing in the police department and neglect of public infrastructure in Dixon, Ill.
