History of Sri Lanka begins with the arrival of Buddhism from North India in the 3rd century B.C. Sinhalese village life, folklore, religious rites, sculpture, painting, music and dance became wholly integrated with Buddhism and remain so today. The Sinhalese character of devotion to religion, tolerance, and happiness in living is expressed in the video. Villagers are seen cultivating and harvesting their rice fields, before bringing gifts of food to their monks for the Vesak festival in memory of Buddha.

Content description from WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/dance-for-a-chicken-the-cajun-mardi-gras/oclc/191045928):
This award-winning film brims over with stunning images of carnival play and a rich soundtrack of hot Cajun music. Cajun filmmaker Pat Mire gives us an inside look at the colorful, rural Cajun Mardi Gras. Every year before Lent begins, processions of masked and costumed revelers, often on horseback, go from house to house gathering ingredients for communal gumbos in communities across rural southwest Louisiana. The often-unruly participants in this ancient tradition play as beggars, fools, and thieves as they raid farmsteads and perform in exchange for charity or, in other words, 'dance for a chicken'.
