The Order of Myths is a 2008 documentary film directed by Margaret Brown.

It focuses on the Mardi Gras celebrations in Mobile, Alabama, the oldest in the United States.

It reveals the separate mystic societies established and maintained by Black and White groups, and acknowledges the complex racial history of a city with a slaveholding past.

It tells some of the history of Africatown, a community formed north of Mobile in 1860 by Africans from Ghana, transported illegally as slaves to Mobile decades after the end of the slave trade.

Andrew O'Hehir of Salon named it the 9th-best film of 2008,[4] as did Ella Taylor of LA Weekly (along with Moving Midway)[4] and Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe.
