as part of the Fall 2012 Social Justice Film Series - "TWO SPIRITS"
on Wednesday, November 14th, 2012. Below are the details and
a copy of the film poster has been attached to help promote this

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012
12 PM - 104 Allen House
7:30 PM - Rm 315 Living/Learning Commons
A brief discussion of the themes follows each screening.
About the film: Fred Martinez was nádleehί - a
male-bodied person with a feminine nature, a special gift according
to his ancient Navajo culture. Between tradition and controversy,
sex and spirit, freedom and fear, Two Spirits interweaves the story
of Fred's journey toward acceptance. [Run time: 66 minutes]
About the Social Justice Film Series: Brought to you by
the Center for Cultural Pluralism, the Fall 2012 Social Justice Film
Series theme is '[Re]Framing OUR Reactions around Race' and offers
participants an educational opportunity to explore through film and
subsequent discourse and engage issues of identity in its various
forms, visible and invisible. Films selected for the Social Justice
Film Series have two viewings and are generally screened up to a
half hour and followed by an engaged discourse on the themes by
the participants. To be respectful of your time, it is our hope
that this entire educational program does not exceed ninety
minutes.
