The Native American Film Series showcases stories about cultural heritage\, art\, history\, music\, civic leadership\, youth\, and more.

The film follows two Lummi families fishing for sockeye. As they come to grips with a depleting fishery\, Larry asks: “Who Are We Without Salmon?” Celebrating the resilience and adaptive natures of salmon and the people\, the film is a reflection on a spiritual life way centered on respect and gratitude for salmon. \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with Tah-Mahs Ellie Kinley moderated by Patrick O’Meara. \nTah-Mahs Ellie Kinley is a commercial fisher who comes from a family where every single generation since time immemorial has harvested the Salish Sea.

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/

SUMMARY:Encore Screening of 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: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:"Divisible" Film Screening and Discussion: Culxr House
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. \nThe screening will include a panel of film participants and issue experts for a Q&A with attendees.
