SUMMARY:Screening and Discussion: August Wilson - "The Ground on Which I Stand"
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Union for Contemporary Art\, Metropolitan Community College and Great Plains Theatre Commons\, the Omaha Community Playhouse is hosting a series of community events in conjunction with the opening of August Wilson’s Fences on the Hawks Mainstage Theatre. \nThis special screening of “The Ground on Which I Stand” at The Union for Contemporary Art requires a free ticket\, which can be obtained here. \nThe screening will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Khalid Y. Long and Wali Jamal. \nAugust Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand is the first full-length documentary on one of America’s most celebrated playwrights\, August Wilson. The film features rarely-seen interviews and archival footage of Wilson\, his family\, and other artists who’ve worked with him\, including Viola Davis\, Charles Dutton\, Laurence Fishburne\, James Earl Jones\, Suzan-Lori Parks\, and Phylicia Rashad. The documentary starts with Wilson’s birth in Pittsburgh\, follows his career as a major Broadway playwright\, and ends with his death in 2005. The documentary also features dramatic readings and archival footage of his 10-play American Century Cycle which chronicles the African American experience throughout the 20th century. \nDr. Khalid Y. Long is a scholar\, dramaturg\, and director specializing in African American/Black diasporic theatre\, performance\, and literature through the lenses of Black feminist/womanist thought\, queer studies\, and performance studies. Accordingly\, his work pays close attention to the intersections of race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality within marginalized and oppressed communities. Dr. Long has published many scholarly essays and has written a book about August Wilson and his work\, to be printed in 2024. \nWali Jamal is a prolific actor based in Pittsburgh and is world-renowned in the theatre community as the only actor to have appeared in all 11 of August Wilson’s plays. \n

SUMMARY:"The Last Prairie" documentary film
DESCRIPTION:Join director John O’Keefe\, professor of Theology and Journalism at Creighton University\, and Mary Ann Vinton\, associate professor of biology at Creighton University\, for a screening of “The Last Prairie.” The film examines the Sandhills through the perspectives of ecologists\, those who live and work there\, and the Indigenous people whose ancestors were driven off the land. \n‘The Last Prairie’ is a film about the Nebraska Sandhills\, a vast grassland in Nebraska. Its 20\,000 square miles comprise the largest area of stabilized sand dunes in the Western Hemisphere and it has been recently described as the most intact temperate grassland on earth. \nThe film offers an intimate portrait of the Sandhills\, presented through voices of three different communities: ecologists who study the region’s biodiversity; people who live and work there; and Native Lakota people whose ancestors were killed to make way for American westward expansion. The Sandhills\, however\, is the main character\, and the primary voice.” \nAfter the documentary\, O’Keefe and Vinton will do a short Q&A with the audience. This event is free\, open to the public\, and in-person only. \n

SUMMARY:"Divisible" film screening and discussion: Benson Theatre
DESCRIPTION:“Divisible” is a documentary feature film about the history and current impacts of redlining in the United States\, focusing on the specific case of Omaha\, Nebraska to show how this practice continually affects and harms people and cities across the nation. \nRedlining was a government policy beginning in 1934 that designated specific areas of cities to receive financial support and excluded low-income areas and communities of color\, targeting them for disinvestment and decline. This targeting reflected a long history of racism. These disfavored redlined neighborhoods were overwhelmingly populated by people of color. The resulting disinvestment exacerbated pre-existing socio-economic and racial disparities. While redlining as government policy was ultimately banned in 1968\, the harmful impacts are clear to this day and many of the informal practices continue. \nYet most Americans do not know what ‘redlining’ means\, much less its powerful and persistent implications. This lack of understanding about redlining skews many Americans’ perceptions of various socioeconomic disparities past and present. As such\, Divisible aims to build awareness of the historical context that precipitated redlining\, and the ways redlining’s effects are still felt to this day in the lives of many. \nEach screening will include a panel of film participants and issue experts for a Q&A with attendees.

SUMMARY:Running Towards the Fire - screening and panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:The documentary film “Running Towards the Fire” – about World War II war correspondents\, including one from Nebraska – will premiere at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center\, followed by a panel discussion featuring: \ndirector/producer Barney McCoy (Gilbert and Martha Hitchcock professor of journalism at UNL)\,\nassistant professor of practice and documentary videographer Kristian Anderson\,\naward-winning filmmaker and project consultant Christine Lesiak\, and\nproject consultant\, author\, military historian and senior archivist at the National Archives and Records Administration Mitch Yockelson. \nVisit The Ross website to RSVP for tickets. \n“Running Towards the Fire – A War Correspondents Story” will also make its debut statewide broadcast on Nebraska Public Media on these dates and times: Thursday\, May 23 at 8p.m. central time and rebroadcasts on Sunday\, May 26 at 5 p.m. and Tuesday\, May 28 at 8 p.m. \nRUNNING TOWARDS THE FIRE vividly captures the pivotal roles war correspondents played during the Allies 1944 D-Day invasion of Europe and subsequent defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis powers in 1945. The war correspondents were unsung heroes who risked their lives informing the world with firsthand accounts of the bravery and sacrifice of the American and Allied forces who fought the Nazis. \nThe documentary draws extensively from the previously unpublished memoirs of Robert Reuben. The Omaha-born war correspondent parachuted into Normandy\, France\, hours before the D-Day invasion and was the first journalist on the ground. Reuben chronicled the Allies’ liberation of France and Belgium and fierce fighting in Germany that forced the Nazi’s May 7\, 1945\, surrender. \nRUNNING TOWARDS THE FIRE also pays tribute to the courage and resilience of the men and women who fought tyranny in WWII. Through newspaper articles\, radio broadcasts and film reports\, war correspondents like Reuben boosted the morale of soldiers and civilians by highlighting the sacrifices they made in the pursuit of freedom.

SUMMARY:A Life Well Lived: David Kaufmann Documentary Film
DESCRIPTION:Grand Island businessman\, civic leader\, and humanitarian\, David Kaufmann was a “quiet philanthropist” who did what he could\, from where he was\, to benefit others in his community and beyond. Although he was recognized in the Grand Island community for the work he did here\, he never sought recognition for himself. Kaufmann not only gave of himself; he inspired others to also do good where they could. Through his actions and words\, he made a difference in the lives of many people in the Grand Island community and beyond. \nThe greatest impact however was likely his least known role in sponsoring Jewish families who were fleeing from the horrors of the Nazi regime leading up to World War II. Kaufmann never spoke publicly about this important humanitarian work during his lifetime. However\, the families who were saved due to his actions taken in Grand Island\, Nebraska never forgot what he had done for them and the generations that followed. \nThis documentary film\, supported by the Hall County Historical Society and the Institute for Holocaust Education\, an agency of the Jewish Federation of Omaha\, will tell the story of David Kaufmann and his work to save families from the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:"My Omaha" film and discussion - Midwest Theater
DESCRIPTION:MY OMAHA follows filmmaker Nick Beaulieu as he returns to his hometown amid the rising tensions of Donald Trump’s presidency and the Black Lives Matter movement. Fresh out of college\, he meets Leo Louis II\, an independent activist\, who introduces him to Omaha’s activism roots\, including the birthplace of Malcolm X in North Omaha. Simultaneously\, Nick grapples with the strained relationship he has with his pro-Trump father\, Randy\, who is suddenly diagnosed with stage-4 cancer. With a newfound sense of urgency\, Nick strives to reconcile with Randy through a series of difficult conversations. As the city faces crisis after the death of a protestor\, we see Leo’s efforts to unite Omaha. And as national politics further divide Americans\, we see Nick and Randy’s ability to bridge their differences. All together\, \nMY OMAHA paints the portrait of a city grappling with family conflict\, political and racial discord\, and the difficult search for common ground. It encourages viewers to consider how these challenges register in their own life\, providing an example for how embracing conversation with one another can heal divisions and create a better world. \nThe event will feature a Q&A after the screening. \nTickets are $5. \nFor more information about the film\, visit: https://www.myomahafilm.com/
