My Omaha

Aired 1h 26m

As Omaha is shaken by protests and a death that becomes a movement flashpoint, filmmaker Nick Beaulieu navigates family conflict, personal reckoning, and the lived realities of racial justice activists. What begins as an investigation into division becomes an intimate exploration of what it takes to stay connected when our deepest beliefs pull us apart.
