Work-In-Progress Screening
Filmmaker Lydia Nibley explores the cultural context behind a tragic and senseless murder. Fred Martinez was a Navajo youth slain at the age of 16 by a man who bragged to his friends that he "bug-smashed a fag." But Fred was part of an honored Navajo tradition - the "nadleeh" or "two-spirit", who possesses a balance of masculine and feminine traits. Through telling Fred's story, Nibley reminds us of the values that America's indigenous peoples have long embraced.
