Beyond Boundaries presents: Heightened Scrutiny

BEYOND BOUNDARIES
Screening & Discussion Series presents:
Heightened Scrutiny (2025)
Director: Sam Feder
There will be a panel discussion after the screening.
Fearless civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio battles at the Supreme Court for transgender adolescents’ access to gender-affirming healthcare, confronting not only the legal system but also a media landscape that distorts public perception and threatens the struggle for trans rights. With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare, Heightened Scrutiny is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.
This Beyond Boundaries screening is free and open to the public, and was curated by Professors Ruth Goldman and Meg Knowles. The event is sponsored by The Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies Minor, the Communication Department, Buffalo State’s Office of Equity and Campus Diversity, and the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
