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'.

Through telling Fred's story, Nibley reminds us of the values that America's indigenous peoples have long embraced..
