DENVER | Fred Martinez was anything but simple.

He was, at various moments, a boy, a girl, a Navajo, a Montezuma-Cortez High School student, gay, transgendered, "nadleehi."

In June 2001, in a ravine just south of Cortez, he became a murder victim.

Now, he's the subject of a movie, and, if the filmmakers have their way, he will become a window onto a view of gender that is at once new to American society and older than America itself.
