About the film

Set in Omaha, Nebraska — where the legacies of Malcolm X, racial segregation, and political division still shape everyday life — My Omaha follows filmmaker Nick Beaulieu as he documents his city’s racial justice movement while attempting to reconnect with his terminally ill father Randy, a staunch Trump supporter. As activist Leo Louis II draws Nick deeper into North Omaha’s struggle and resilience, the film becomes an intimate portrait of family, race, and the uneasy search for truth inside modern America.

What people are saying

“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.”

“An impressive feature documentary directorial debut that explores fundamental issues in the heart of America with honesty, self-reflection, and compassion. Heartfelt and important.”
