Film Synopsis

Each year, Mardi Gras is marked in New Orleans, Louisiana, by two weeks of festivities that enliven the whole town.  New Orleans has a reputation as the most dangerous and deprived of the United States, but for those who organise the flamboyant musical parades it is a chance to rescue the youngsters from a life of penury and crime.  Mardi Gras is more than a celebration, it is an opportunity to liberate those who live on the margins and help them find their way to a better life...
