America seems more politically divided than ever. Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives \u2014 we can\u2019t seem to agree on much of anything these days.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the power of movies could help bridge that gap, says Annie Roney, founder of the nonprofit In Real Life (IRL) Movie Club<\/a>. And the club\u2019s next movie takes on that political divide head-on at more than 100 U.S. theaters next weekend, including Bonita Springs\u2019 Prado Stadium 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, we have to be able to live with each other and talk to each other,\u201d Roney says. \u201cAnd we have to be able to disagree.\u201d<\/p>\n

Movie ‘My Omaha’ follows filmmaker’s talks with Trump-loving dad<\/h2>\n

The 2025 documentary \u201cMy Omaha\u201d <\/a>follows liberal filmmaker Nick Beaulieu as he returns to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, to document its growing racial-justice movement and try talking with his dying, deeply conservative father \u2014 a staunch Donald Trump supporter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a deeply personal documentary made by a filmmaker who grew up in Omaha,\u201d Roney says. \u201cHe dives into trying to have conversations with his father, who’s on the other side of the political fence as he is. And so it’s a film that allows us to watch how it can be done in a loving and respectful way \u2014 where you might not get to a place of complete understanding, but it’s in the trying.\u201d<\/p>\n
