In a gentrifying New Orleans, Demond sacrifices to be Big Chief in a secret hundred-year culture known as Mardi Gras Indians: African-American men from the city’s roughest neighborhoods who spend all year sewing feathered suits they’ll wear only once, in a battle to decide who’s “the prettiest.” (Slamdance Film Festival)
