Summary
A documentary that explores the production, consumption, and disposal of Mardi Gras beads. Follows "The Bead Trail" backwards from Mardi Gras to the factories where the beads are made. When each group is shown images of the other, the cycle of misunderstanding goes a long way in explaining how the commodity chain is kept in place. Includes added post-Hurricane Katrina updates.
