By Invitation Only
Thematic Class in America Curated by St. Clair Bourne
Most people have heard of Mardi Gras, but few know that within the festival also exists a very private world of high-society balls. Originated by former Confederate slave-owners after the South’s loss of the Civil War, these remain rooted in a celebration of white supremacist values. This clandestine tradition continues to thrive today and has rarely been questioned by the public. Class and culture intersect in this fascinating documentary made “from the inside.”
