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/

Lamp and Melody Dobson will give a talk about the Nebraska’s historical links to the thoroughbred horse racing industry\, including book excerpts and documentary film clips. \nThe talk will give people “a deeper appreciation for the individuals who credit their Nebraska upbringing to overcome the insurmountable odds they mastered in America’s oldest sport.” \nAuthor Jennifer S.

In 2019\, Kelly’s first book\, “Sir Barton and the Making of the Triple Crown\,” was published by the University Press of Kentucky (UPK). Her newest title “The Foxes of Belair: Gallant Fox\, Omaha\, and the Quest for the Triple Crown” (2023)\, also published by UPK\, chronicles the lives and careers of the second and third Triple Crown winners\, bred and owned by William Woodward and trained by “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons. \nPrior to co-founding the American Doorstop Project\, BORN TO REIN Co-Producer\, Melody Dobson served as a Co-National Signature Event Coordinator for The Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Signature Event; Clark on the Yellowstone.
