This is one section of the rough cut of a film I worked on from 2007 to 2009, called "Death and Taxes: Refusing To Pay For War."

My original vision for the film was for it to be an entertaining and compelling story that also clearly taught the viewer the basics of war tax resistance. (see this blog entry from an early editing stage in the project: steev.hise.org/content/trying-tell-story-war-tax-resistance ) Budgetary and other problems resulted in me being unable to finish the film. This section is about Julia Butterfly Hill, the famous activist who withheld the most war taxes in history. The film was eventually completed by another editor.
