Tagline:
The nation's oldest Mardi Gras celebration is the backdrop for this intimate consideration of
race in America.
Synopsis:
The first Mardi Gras in American was celebrated in Mobile Alabama in 1703. In 2007, it is still
racially segregated. Filmmaker Margaret Brown (“Be Here To Love Me: A Film About Townes
Van Zandt”), a daughter herself of Mobile, escorts us into the parallels of the city’s two
carnivals. With unprecedented access, she traces the exotic world of secret mystic societies
and centuries old traditions and pageantry; diamond encrusted crowns, voluminous, hand
sewn gowns, surreal masks and enormous paper mache floats. Against this opulent
backdrop, she uncovers a tangled web of historical violence and power dynamics, elusive
forces that keep this hallowed tradition organized along enduring color lines.

Critical Praise:
Entertaining, mind-opening docs open every month, but none has broken through to a wide
audience. Now comes the latest winner, Margaret Brown’s penetrating The Order of Myths.
- New York Magazine
Quietly shocking, The Order of Myths is a deft, engrossing cross-section of Mobile life, heavy
on local color and insight. - Village Voice
Wise and soberly affecting documentary about the separate but unequal Mardi Gras
festivities that take place each year in Mobile, Ala. - New York Times
