About this audiobook
Riding With Spirit is a deeply personal memoir by Justin Martinez—filmmaker, seeker, and witness. From a childhood shaped by spiritual wanderings, poverty, and road-worn resilience, Justin takes us on a journey that led him to the Dakota Unity Riders and a powerful ride across land, memory, and ceremony. This isn’t just a documentary story—it’s a lived experience of listening, of learning, and of becoming a vessel for truth. With humility and heart, Justin shares the moments that shaped him, the people who helped him, and the spirit that guided him. A story of roots, reverence, and riding toward healing.
