The Order of Myths is a 2008 documentary about the Mardi Gras parade in Mobile, Alabama. The Mardi Gras events in Mobile are the oldest in the United States, but the celebratory atmosphere is not as carefree as it seems. Instead, the events are segregated, with the black community and white community holding strictly separate celebrations. The documentary follows the 2007 parade, examining the traditions and customs that have created such a racially charged atmosphere during what could be a welcoming city-wide celebration. The director, Margaret Brown, interviews a range of people involved in the festivities. In lieu of narration, Brown allows each interviewee to speak for himself or herself, including Mardi Gras kings and queens MORE [EDIT]
