- 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.
- I DANCE MYSELF is a feature documentary that explores the life of legendary dancer and choreographer Bob Curtis. His father was born a slave in rural Mississippi and Bob grew up doing the back-breaking work of picking cotton in the segregated South. At a time when black dancers were not accepted, he received a scholarship from one of the world's leading ballet institutions--The School of American Ballet under George Balanchine. He was also the first black dancer in the legendary José Limón company and studied with the mother of Modern Dance Martha Graham.
