JASPER MALL (DVD and Digital Release USA and Canada 2020)
Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
Jasper Mall—documentary—shows how the movement
into the technological age affects local economies. Just as the Industrial
Revolution created turbulence and chaos, this movie documents the result of
moving into the technological age as turbulent and chaotic. The documentary
shows how a single mall in Jasper, Alabama faces closure due to the change in
population Internet shopping preference. It documents changes in lifestyle, job
positions, and levels of prosperity. The interviews are personable, and Security
Guard Mike McClelland is very generous to show the director and crew of this
movie what is happening in the Jasper mall. The only criticism for this
documentary is that it fails to show the positive steps people can take to stay
abreast of the change and maintain lifestyle while moving into this new age.

Additional Thanks
Thank you to Directors Bradford Thomason and Brett
Whitcomb for directing efforts.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. It’s hard and sad to see people losing their life
businesses, but it’s interesting to witness in person how moving from one age
into another works. Living history documented, as it unfolds, marks this movie
as a particularly good watch.
