MY OMAHA

Set against the backdrop of Omaha's deep divides and burgeoning racial justice 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. “This is a staggering work that truly gives us an insight into the seeming chasms in America, that are actually bridged by love and emotion. Don't expect answers, but expect to be moved. Highly recommended.” — Steve Kopian, UNSEEN FILMS “An ambitious documentary about divided families living in small-town America and the role national politics can play in driving an even deeper wedge between generations.” — Alison Foreman, INDIEWIRE “My Omaha teaches us that it is the pursuit, the seeking of truth, that must continue. We must look at the change ourselves before seeking to change the world. This picture has a mighty heart.” — Kent Hill, FILM THREAT “Some films don’t just tell a story—they hold up a mirror, forcing us to examine our lives, relationships, and the ever-widening ideological divides in our society. MY OMAHA does just that, blending a deeply personal journey with a larger, urgent social commentary. It’s a film that doesn’t flinch when emotions run high, embracing both the personal and political with an unfiltered lens.” — Chris Jones, OVERLY HONEST REVIEWS “A valuable look at the personal and political from the perspective of two people, set against a changing Nebraska.” — Louise Penn, LOU REVIEWS “An impressive feature documentary directorial debut that explores fundamental issues in the heart of America with honesty, self-reflection, and compassion. Heartfelt and important.” — Norman Gidney, MUSE TVDocumentaryPT1H25M
