In 1966, three Chicago filmmakers made a decision: to point the camera at the people and stories that everyone else was walking past. Stan Karter, Jerry Temaner, and Gordon Quinn created Kartemquin to tell the stories that weren't being told. 60 years later, we're still doing exactly that.
Documentary film does something irreplaceable. It's one of the few spaces left where a story can take its time, where a human life can't be reduced to a headline.
This is the work. This is KTQ60. Support our next 60 years. Learn more at the link in our bio.

In this vHopeful Conversation, I talk with filmmaker Nick Beaulieu @nick.beaulieu about My Omaha, his intimate documentary about going back to his Nebraska hometown to chronicle its fight for racial equity while trying to repair his bond with his ardent Trump-loyalist father, Randy. Nick reflects on mentorship from Doug Block @dougblockphoto and Kartemquin Films, @kartemquin and on why personal filmmaking means putting yourself on the line first. He also explains how filming without a crew kept his talks with his father honest. He shares how activist Leo Louis II and his father’s old friend Ghost shaped the film. He also offers advice for families split by politics: heal the emotional wounds before arguing the issues. We close with why real progress on race comes from genuine friendships, and why voting in the midterms matters as the cost of living soars and AI reshapes our society.
Watch My Omaha @myomahafilm on PBS @independentlens or @youtube. Listen, (watch or read) our full conversation on @hopeforfilm or Dream of a Better World Substacks, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
