CA2BC will host showings and discussions about the film My Omaha. 

My Omaha is essentially a film about the search for truth and common ground between a son and his father.  But it also traces the search for truth and common ground that has been playing out for decades between Omaha’s African American community and the larger, dominant white community. It is an 85-minute documentary released in February 2025, directed, written and produced by 31-year-old Nick Beaulieu. It premiered in Omaha in October last year.
