REVIEWS
“This is a staggering work that truly gives us an insight into the seeming chasms in America, that are actually bridged by love and emotion. Don’t expect answers, but expect to be moved. Highly recommended.”
“An ambitious documentary about divided families living in small-town America and the role national politics can play in driving an even deeper wedge between generations.”
“My Omaha teaches us that it is the pursuit, the seeking of truth, that must continue. We must look at the change ourselves before seeking to change the world. This picture has a mighty heart.”
