Films by Two Spirits and About Two Spirits

Deb-we-win Ge-kend-am-aan, Our Place in the Circle
2008, Canada, 22 min, by Lorne Olson
Distributor: National Film Board of Canada, (416) 954-3396, Jane Gutteridge, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Synopsis: Filmmaker Lorne Olson had a vision of two-spirited people dancing, smiling, laughing; they were moving without shame, at peace with themselves and their place in the world. Two-spirited people are comprised of a male and female spirit. Historically, they were venerated for their gifts, but such respect isn't necessarily the case today. Lorne's vision sparks him to rediscover the strength of the past to better face the challenges of today. This funny and buoyant film documents his touching journey.
