TWO SPIRITS interweaves the tragic story of a mother's loss of her son with a revealing look at the largely unknown history of a time when the world wasn't divided into "male and female" and many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders. The film explores the contemporary lives and history of Native two-spirit people--who express multiple genders. For the first time on film, it examines how they are revitalizing two-spirit traditions and claiming their rightful place. The film brims with hope and the belief that we are all enriched by multi-gendered people, and that all of us benefit from being free to be our truest selves.
