This documentary follows people from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds in New Orleans during the critical years post-Hurricane Katrina, when many wondered whether the city would ever make it back. Struggling to repair broken homes, businesses and lives, an Indian Chief, a Rex Krewe member, a French Quarter artist, a former Zulu Krewe member and a high school marching band teacher must weigh whether to devote time and precious resources to the annual Mardi Gras effort. In the process, they rediscover the roles that culture and tradition play in their lives.
