This is another hard to find movie that has a lot of little truths in it, if you know a little about a lot. ; ) This film was on Blockbuster shelves for 3 days before it was taken off the shelves everywhere! Based loosely off a true story, An independent filmmaker harassed by the IRS learns that the federal income tax is unconstitutional — and makes a film about it. Here’s the story: The IRS wants to reinterpret a certain element of the tax code in a way more favorable to itself. So it audits a small television commercial production company, hoping to create an easy legal precedent that will enable it to then reassess the entire entertainment industry. However, the owner of the company won’t give in. So the IRS seizes almost everything he possesses and roughs him up a bit in the process. He turns to a tax attorney for help. In the course of advising him what to do, she also educates him (and in so doing, the viewer) on the history of the income tax. She claims that only those in the federal zone (the “F Zone,” ie, Washington, DC and a few other areas) are actually subject to it, and advises him to declare himself a “non-resident alien” to gain tax-free status. She also persuades him to make a film about this hidden truth. The IRS gets violent in various ways and tries to seize the film. But in the end good prevails, the film is released and it sparks a nationwide tax rebellion. Kool lil flick, too bad U can’t buy it!
