Death & Taxes

Released: November 17, 2024Runtime: 86 min

Documentary

Harvey Schein lived a rags-to-riches story that embodies the American Dream as a renowned and successful record company CEO, known for his brilliance—and his combativeness. Over time he also became obsessed with how to pass on his wealth to his heirs while avoiding taxes. Director Justin Schein turns the camera on his father as a case study in America’s long and problematic history of tax benefits for the wealthy. This timely film deftly interweaves complex family dynamics with American economic policy, illustrating how the rich stay rich and what it costs our country to keep them that way.
