Death & Taxes
With a title like DEATH & TAXES, it's easy to expect something technical and rigid. But what filmmaker Justin Schein delivers is far more intimate—and far more revealing. What begins as a documentary about estate taxes evolves into a deeply personal reckoning with legacy, inequality, and the hard-to-swallow truths that often lie at the heart of American wealth. Schein turns the lens on his own family, and in particular, his late father, Harvey Schein—a powerful and complex business executive whose lifelong obsession with keeping his fortune out of the IRS's grasp nearly tore their family apart.
