This documentary is nice looking but it feels

This documentary is nice looking but it feels very disjointed. For all of the sweeping aerial shots and interviews with countless community leaders (who remark on topics such as "how many breweries are popping up in Sioux Falls"), it never quite reaches a point. The whole film feels like a vanity piece for Deborah and James Fallows rather than an attempt to really tell a meaningful story.

Our Towns" IS a very BIASED look at

"Our Towns" IS a very BIASED look at small towns across America. In California they "focused on diversity"... but very brilliantly glossed over the abuse of Native Americans, Mexicans, and other minorities....Slavery in the drug trade that is so abundant.... Slavery in prostitution, etc. But featured some town in Mississippi like they were still burning crosses in peoples yards! Saying that an old plantation home or a random monument was modern testimony to the slave trade. REALLY??? And we have no human slave trade now? White, black, Asian, Mexican, or any other nationality?The ignorance is truly abundant! ??‍♀️

A dissapointing documentary companion piece that would have

A dissapointing documentary companion piece that would have been better served diving into 3 towns within different regions of the country. What we get is a vapid look at the collapse of industry, community outreach programs and a sprinkle of cultural celebration mostly told from the managing perspective. Just wish we could have heard more from the locals rather than the local real estate flipper or renovater bringing another 20 breweries to small town america.
