HBO film to feature Columbus

HBO documentary “Our Towns” will revisit eight communities from the bestselling book, “Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America,” penned by journalists James and Deborah Fallows. Columbus, Miss., is among those eight communities. The documentary debuts April 13 at 8 p.m. on HBO and will be available for streaming on HBO Max. Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Steven Ascher and Jeanne Jordan traveled with the authors on a coast-to-coast journey that included stops from San Bernardino, Calif., to the smallest community in the film, Eastport, Maine (population 1,300). “We picked places that were geographically diverse, diverse in size and population, and we also looked at where they are in their histories,” Ascher told The (Columbus) Dispatch in a telephone interview.
