My Omaha

After graduating from journalism school, Nick Beaulieu returns to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska to document its surging racial justice movement while seeking to reconnect with his staunchly pro-Trump father Randy – a task made more urgent when Randy is unexpectedly diagnosed with stage-4 cancer.

At its core, “My Omaha” is a testament to the importance of empathy and the strength that comes from human connection. It highlights how, by simply practicing active listening, we can break down walls of division and build bridges of understanding. When we choose to hear one another, without judgment or assumption, we unlock the potential for change, growth, and, ultimately, a more united and powerful human race.
