SUMMARY:Heightened Scrutiny
DESCRIPTION:HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY follows Chase Strangio\, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court\, as he fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti). \nThe film exposes the dangerous role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation\, uncovering how biased coverage drives hate\, endangers lives\, and threatens democracy itself. With insights from journalists like Jelani Cobb\, Lydia Polgreen\, and Gina Chua\, and activists like Laverne Cox\, the story dismantles anti-trans disinformation and highlights its devastating real-world impact. \nWith the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare\, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice. \nTo learn more about the documentary\, please visit: https://www.heightenedscrutinydoc.com/ \nThis event is sponsored by the Intercultural Center\, Program on Gender & Intersectionality Studies (PGIS)\, ArtNOW: Performance\, Art\, and Technology & Department of Communication.
