ACLU attorney Chase Strangio goes all the way to the Supreme Court to fight one of the greatest civil rights rollbacks in modern history. Chase, journalists, and activists battle against the anti-trans backlash in politics in this trenchant exploration of mainstream media’s complicity in the dehumanization of the transgender community. HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an incredibly timely and important look at the power and meaning of the struggle to maintain transgender rights.
