New Orleans Mardi Gras - documentary (1998)

The New Orleans Mardi Gras is famous for wildly good times and wildly questionable behaviour. This documentary aired on TLC (The Learning Channel) in 1998 and takes a behind-the-scenes look at the good, the bad and the ugly of one of the most popular festivals in the United States.

Black face is offensive

No it's not -- not in the context of the Zulu organisation.
