Heightened Scrutiny

Victorian Premiere

At the heart of queer cinema is the documentation of human rights – not as abstract ideals, but as lived, felt, breathed truths. From acclaimed director Sam Feder and the team behind Disclosure comes a compelling examination of the current fight for transgender rights and justice in the United States.

Featuring ACLU attorney Chase Strangio, this vital documentary follows his efforts to navigate not only the Supreme Court but also the court of public opinion, as media narratives continue to influence the national discourse on one of today’s most urgent civil rights issues.

“We will build beautiful spaces; we will claim collective love; we will unrelentingly stand up for each other. Take away our rights but you won’t take away my fight.” – Chase Strangio

This feature will be preceded by the powerful short Sistahood: A Story of Strength (DIR: Jessica R. Chaney)
