http://realscreen.com/2011/07/06/two-spirits-lands-independent-lens-prize/Lydia Nibley's Two Spirits, a documentary about a transgender Navajo teen murdered for embracing his feminine side, has won the PBS Independent Lens audience award.
The documentary (pictured above), which aired as the Independent Lens strand's season finale, edged out The Calling and The Longoria Affair among audience voters.
Two Spirits explores Navajo tradition, where true harmony is achieved by balancing feminine and masculine within the individual, families and culture; and looks at the current state of bullying faced by LGBT people.
