Two men sit across from each other on lawn chairs, chatting outdoors on a grassy field. Behind them, horses peacefully graze among lush green trees and gentle hills beneath a cloudy sky.

About this Event

The Civil Society Screenings are curated to create public dialogue over conflict, understanding, and community action.

My Omaha Summary

Set against the backdrop of Omaha’s deep racial divide and burgeoning Black Lives Matter movement, MY OMAHA tells the story of filmmaker Nick Beaulieu’s personal journey to document the activism of his hometown and reconcile with his terminally ill father Randy, a staunch pro-Trump supporter. Guided by the wisdom of community activist Leo Louis II, Nick navigates the complexities of family conflict, political and racial discord, and the difficult search for common ground.
