"The first Mardi Gras in America was celebrated in Mobile, Alabama in 1703. In 2008 (when this documentary was released), it is still racially segregated. A fascinating investigation into our nation's history and traditions, this acclaimed, award-winning documentary illuminates the complexities of race relations in 21st century America." [Kanopy]
