Heightened Scrutiny screening - Chicago

In the timely HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY, Chase Strangio—fearless civil rights lawyer and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court—fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, confronting not only the legal system but also a media landscape that distorts public perception and threatens the struggle for trans rights. With insights from journalists like Jelani Cobb, Lydia Polgreen, and Gina Chua, this urgent and illuminating documentary explores how dangerous disinformation drives hate, endangers lives, and threatens democracy itself. Dialogue: Director Sam Feder in attendance.
