Death, Taxes & the American Dream: A Film Screening and Conversation with the Filmmaker and Author at Parkway Theatre
What do we owe each other? Join the The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University for an evening with filmmaker Justin Schein and SNF Agora Institute Professor of Sociology Ruth Braunstein in conversation about wealth, inequality, and the American dream.
Death & Taxes, directed by Johns Hopkins University alum Justin Schein, is a feature documentary examining the estate tax through the deeply personal story of a father and son divided over the kind of inheritance we leave our children and our country. After the film, Professor Braunstein, author of the 2025 book My Tax Dollars, will join the filmmaker for a discussion of the film and how it intersects with her research into our deepest disagreements about citizenship, community, and the American Dream — and why taxes, of all things, sit at the center of them.
6:30 PM — Doors Open
