First we'll see two communities preparing for Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and examine how diverse communities use celebration to forge healthy bonds between individuals. From there it's on to Southern California, where Fred Donaldson, a well-known play specialist, gets down on the mat to play-wrestle with special-needs children, showing how even the simplest forms of play generate positive effects. .
