Here's more from the website:
Two Spirits, a documentary directed by Lydia Nibley and produced by Say Yes Quickly Productions, received a standing ovation from a sell-out crowd of more than five hundred people at its world premiere on Saturday, November 21 at the Starz Denver Film Festival.
Members of the Two-Spirit Society of Denver performed honor songs before and after the screening to bless the film's work in the world and honor the memory of Fred Martinez. The film was followed by a panel discussion and reception hosted by the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
Fred Martinez was nádleehí—someone who possesses a balance of masculine and feminine traits—a special gift according to his traditional Navajo culture. But his determination to express his truest identity tragically cost him his life. At age sixteen, he was one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern history when he was murdered in Cortez, Colorado.
