They say we’ve never been lonelier. That society is divided and circling the drain of toxic individualism. We are told nothing can bring us together, but some events are still worth coming together for. In our series GATHERINGS, we explore the communities and events that make people feel like they belong. In this video, VICE correspondent and Southern native Jackson Garrett explores his favorite southern tradition, Mardi Gras, but this time it's Cajun style. We interview several local experts on Cajun Mardi Gras history and culture, before our host dives in head first, getting whipped, muddy, and rowdy while he attempts to catch the ever elusive prized chicken on the big Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras run.
