By Invitation Only

New Orleans filmmaker Rebecca Snedeker explores the insular world of the elite, white Carnival societies and debutante balls of Mardi Gras. Questioning their racial exclusivity, she takes an unprecedented insider's look at the pageantry and asks: what does it really mean to be the queen of the masked men? As she examines her own place in this captivating tradition, Snedeker challenges viewers to reflect on the roles that we play in our lives. Ideal for courses in Anthropology, American Studies, Gender Studies, Multicultural Studies, Sociology, Southern History and Psychology.

Director: Rebecca Snedeker
