LA Weekly says Two Spirits is "riveting . . . a crash course on Navajo history and culture while illuminating the struggles of [Fred] Martinez, whose detailed murder and mother’s grief are devastating."

Bestselling author and Oprah Magazine columnist Martha Beck calls the film "a gorgeous, moving, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting story; the kind of film that opens the mind and heart so wide they can never close as tightly again.”

The Fred Martinez Project and the documentary film Two Spirits received the 2008 Monette-Horwitz Distinguished Achievement Award for outstanding activism, research, and scholarship to combat homophobia.

The U.S. Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights in Washington has joined the Fred Martinez Project as an outreach partner. The department will host screenings of Two Spirits around the country as a part of their ongoing national diversity programs.

A growing coalition of over sixty organizations have made specific, measurable commitments to spread the word about the film to all of their members, organize events around the film, and to use Two Spirits in violence reduction programs, safe schools initiatives, suicide prevention programs, LGBT equality programs, in racial and gender equality efforts, and in support of civil and human rights.

[An interactive map with information abut these organizations and how they are using Two Spirits will be posted soon.].
