The "Battle for Columbus," dubbed by historians as the last official battle of the Civil War is the focus of a Georgia Public Broadcasting film, set to air Wednesday night at 10 p.m on WJSP tv.
Filmmakers Rickard Elliot Lifshey and James Bridges spent two years working on the production.
"It has all the elements of a great story and is one that should be told,"
Lifshey told the Ledger-Enquirer newspaper.
Columbus historians and journalists were interviewed for the film, and scenes were shot in and around Columbus, Phenix City, Ala., and several surrounding counties.
