"The Order Of Myths" hits the IFC Center in NYC this week:
The oldest festival of its kind in the US, Mobile, Alabama's colorful, ornate Mardi Gras has always been segregated, with separate -- and not quite equal -- parades, secret societies and balls organized by the city's black and white communities.
