BRATTLEBORO - Out in the Open presents the Vermont premiere of “Heightened Scrutiny,” the award-winning documentary following ACLU attorney Chase Strangio, the first out trans person to argue before the US Supreme Court. The film offers an unflinching look at the high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth (United States v. Skrmetti), while exposing the harmful role of mainstream media in spreading anti-trans disinformation.
