New Orleans Street Parade
The 1968 film New Orleans Street Parade depicts the eponymous city's Onward Brass Band parading through the French Quarter, arousing interest from onlookers and picking up participant second liners along the way. This film attempts to capture an authentic second line parade and particularizes a cultural phenomenon that has persisted for well over 100 years.
