About MARDI GRAS: MADE IN CHINA...

Beads, Breasts, and Business: A Story of "Globalization Gone Wild!"

The award winning documentary, Mardi Gras: Made in China, swiftly follows the path of Mardi Gras beads from the naked streets of New Orleans during Carnival, where revelers party 24/7, to the disciplined factories in Fuzhou, China, where teenage laborers live and thread beads 24/7. Told with humor and curiosity, Mardi Gras: Made in China provides a global connection by introducing workers and revelers to each other through a disposable commodity: Mardi Gras beads.
Nominated for Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival
