Death and Taxes

DEATH & TAXES is a feature documentary about wealth, inequality and the American Dream, viewed through the lens of the estate tax and the very personal story of a father and son at odds over what kind of inheritance we want to leave our kids and our country. Filmmaker Justin Schein’s father, Harvey Schein, rose from poverty to great financial success and spent years focused on keeping his wealth from the taxman. Filmed over more than 20 years, the film weaves intimate family footage with interviews of experts. Q&A with Director Justin Schein following the screening, moderated by former IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel.
