DEATH & TAXES is a feature documentary about wealth, inequality, and the American Dream, viewed through the lens of the estate tax. Filmmaker Justin Schein’s father Harvey Schein was one of America’s top CEOs of the 1970s, but he spent the last 20 years of his life fixated on trying to keep his hard-earned wealth from the taxman–an obsession that almost broke the Schein family apart. How have inherited wealth and the tax system that shields it have badly distorted American democracy, perpetuating racial and economic inequity in the country? DEATH & TAXES answers this crucial question through the tale of one American family.
Q&A with Director Justin Schein follows the screening.
