HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY
Directed by Sam Feder
2025 | USA | 85 mins
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 exclusive showing is not only an incredible educational piece, it is also a fundraiser to support the work of The Seed Theatre -- the only nonprofit in our area serving Trans and Queer Youth. It is being screened in association with the filmmakers and is currently on a limited screening tour in Tennessee.
The film will be followed with an open panel discussion featuring advocates from Chattanooga and Tennessee who work in legislature and transgender rights, as well as members from Seed who actively serve trans youth.
