Out of Omaha

Executive produced by multiple platinum hip-hop recording artist J. Cole, OUT OF OMAHA is an intimate portrait of twin brothers Darcell and Darrell Trotter, young black men coming of age in the racially and economically-divided Midwestern city of Omaha, Nebraska. Director Clay Tweel (GLEASON) met the Trotters when they were 17 and filmed them over a period of eight years. By intimately portraying the twins’ hopes and struggles – and the love and help they give and get along the way – the film examines how much it takes to overcome disadvantages rooted in historic injustice.
