SUMMARY:Sam Feder presents "Heightened Scrutiny" Screening & Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Heightened Scrutiny is a documentary film about the first out trans attorney arguing in front of the US Supreme Court (United States v. Skrmetti) and the role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation. The film’s director\, Sam Feder\, will be presenting this film at the Sanctuary followed by a Q&A. Ahead of the film\, Feder will be offering a Be The Media! workshop from 5-6pm. \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration with the RPI’s iEAR Presents series\, supported by the Department of Arts and the School of Humanities\, Arts\, and Social Sciences\, and is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeightened 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). \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\nAs SCOTUS prepares to rule on the case\, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY reveals the fight for bodily autonomy as a fight for the soul of democracy\, offering a powerful call to action against bigotry and injustice. website
