The Order of Myths
The Order of Myths, a penetrating documentary film that provides insight into America’s oldest, but still segregated Mardi Gras celebration in Mobile, Alabama, where traditional southern beliefs provide a foundation for the separate celebrations. The film’s director follows two groups, the all white Mobile Carnival Assn. and the all black, Mobile Area Mardi Gras Assn., as they celebrate Mardi Gras 2007 with parties, parades and pageants.
