My Omaha

Join us for a special screening organized by The IRL movie club!

The IRL (In Real Life) Movie Club is a nonprofit on a mission to strengthen democracy through the power of shared experience and dialogue. Inspired by Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone and the documentary Join or Die: Why You Should Join a Club (now on Netflix) we create real-world spaces for connection—starting with a great documentary.

Amid Omaha’s social and political divides, filmmaker Nick Beaulieu returns home to confront both a changing city and his own family.

As he documents the voices shaping his community, he also seeks reconciliation with his terminally ill father Randy, a devoted Trump supporter.

With guidance from community leader Leo Louis II, Nick wrestles with questions of identity, belonging, and the possibility of understanding across difference. 

My Omaha is a personal journey that reveals how dialogue—however difficult—can open paths toward common ground.
