Short Documentary

Chief Bo Dollis Jr. teaches his proteges, Corey, JaCorey, and Alvon, the virtues of being a Mardi Gras Indian, a subculture in New Orleans that instills pride and patience, through the detailed craft of stitching and sewing. This is a film about the process, what happens all the way up to the presentation of the suit, and how the practice is a one-of-a-kind creative and cultural outlet for the younger generation involved.
