December 15 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm CST
$6 – $10
My Omaha film poster. Background is an old map of Omaha. Mid ground is an image of a protest on a city street. Foreground is three characters from the film: Leo Louis II, who is Black, and Nick Beaulieu and his father, Randy, who are white.

“My Omaha” will screen at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center from December 12-20. (A special screening on Dec. 21 includes a post-screening Q&A with filmmaker Nick Beaulieu and community activist Leo Louis II.)

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.
