Heightened Scrutiny
United States – 2025
In Sam Feder’s highly anticipated film, we meet Chase Strangio, ACLU attorney and the first openly transgender person to present a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. We follow Strangio in the pivotal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming treatment for transgender youth (United States vs. Skrmetti).
The film exposes the dangerous role mass media plays in promoting anti-trans legislation and how biased press coverage fuels hatred, endangers lives, and threatens the very foundation of democracy.
After Thursday's screening, there will be a conversation with filmmakers Campbell X, Ingrid Jungermann, and Luca Dalen Espseth (PKI), moderated by Marianne Gulli (Fri Oslo og Viken)
Presented in collaboration with FRI and PKI
