Plot Summary: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.
印第安人的双性文化很有意思。本来很和谐,白人来了就完蛋了。
一个GAY少年被谋杀背后的故事。拍得马马虎虎,花太多时间渲染母亲的悲痛了。但有关印第安人的双性文化以前也读过,很有意思。它保持百余年历史的和谐,最终随着西方人的到来及基督教传播而成为原罪。

虽然说里面的谋杀案很惨,但还是煽过了点了。。。
