Two Spirits is a beautifully diplomatic documentary that tells the loss of one mother's son—a son who might have unearthed some answers to our past of what it means to be Two Spirit. Fred Martinez was nádleehí, a male-bodied person with a feminine nature, 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." This film tangles our society's current comprehension of what it means to be Two Spirit as a position of individual experiences in relation to its traumatic history and current understandings of the Two Spirit sect within our extended communities. 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.
