Advance, work-in-progress screening at Outfest. Thursday, July 16th, 7:15 p.m. Fairfax Theater, 7907 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles. Info and tickets: http://www.outfest.org/tixSYS/2009/xslguide/eventnote.php?EventNumber=2789 TWO SPIRITS interweaves the tragic story of a mothers loss of her son with a revealing look at the largely unknown history of a time when the world wasnt simply divided into male and female and many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders. Fred Martinez was nádleehí, a male-bodied person with a feminine essence, a special gift according to his ancient Navajo culture. He was one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern history when he was brutally murdered at sixteen by a young man who bragged to friends that he had bug-smashed a fag. TWO SPIRITS explores the life and death of a boy who was also a girl and the essentially spiritual nature of gender and sexuality. The film makes the case that in the twenty-first century we need to return to traditional values. [More] [Less] |
