Order of Myths

I watched a free screening of Order of Myths at the South Lamar Alamo Drafthouse where the director appeared at and after the screening. It was revealed at the end of the doc that the director had very exclusive access to all the individuals within the film which made it seem much more realistic and involved.

I loved looking into the Mardis Gras culture in Alabama. I’m so used to the idea of it being in Louisiana that I kept comparing the two throughout the movie. I’m glad to see that despite a deep rooted racism that might be prevalent throughout the South, there is still some progress trying to be made.

It honestly took me a while to figure out what the Order of Myths was and why it was so important to the story—but I think its title was two fold, so it didn’t necessarily need to have a huge role in the story, since it was only one order out of the many orders there were involved with Mardis Gras.
