Set against the backdrop of the U.S. state of Nebraska's deep divides and burgeoning racial justice movement, MY OMAHA tells the story of first-time filmmaker Nick Beaulieu's personal journey to document the activism in his hometown and reconcile with his terminally ill father Randy, a staunch pro-Trump supporter. Guided by the wisdom of community activist Leo Louis II, Nick navigates the complexities of family conflict, political and racial discord, and the difficult search for common ground. MY OMAHA premiered at the 2025 Slamdance Film Festival, where it was called "A staggering work.. Don't expect answers, but expect to be moved."
Nick, Leo and producer (and D-Word founder) Doug Block joined us for an in-depth discussion of how the film evolved from idea through the challenges of production and distribution, and touched on how Nick and Doug's producing partnership grew out of a "classic" networking F2F four years ago.
Moderated by D-Word co-host Erica Ginsberg.
This session was recorded on October 3, 2025.
