Plot Summary: Charts the evolution of drag and politics in Louisiana's gay Mardi Gras krewe scene. Krewes are organizations that throw a ball during carnival season. Having come of age in New Orleans in the 1940s and '50s, gay krewes began throwing lavish balls as a sendup of their straight society counterparts and have since become a powerful force in city politics. Krewe members, many of them now in their seventies and eighties, discuss the importance of creating a safe space to gather at a time of vice crackdowns in gay clubs, gaining a seat at the political table, the toll of AIDS and Katrina on the community, and the importance of passing on the torch to a younger generation.

Having come of age in New Orleans in the 1940s and 50s, gay krewe members reminisce fondly about being inspired by the opulence of the Mardi Gras festivities, and how through their activities, they became a powerful force in city politics. Krewe members--many of them now in their 70s and 80s--recount how the krewe scene created a safe space to gather at a time of vice crackdowns on gay clubs. As the krewe members aged, their concerns changed to deal with the toll of AIDS and Katrina on the community, and the importance of passing the torch to a younger generation. But always, there were the lavish balls, where, with oversized wigs and outrageous costumes, these unlikely political activists strut their stuff in grand style.
