Hereford man's film to get Italian debut
12:00pm Thursday 4th September 2008
A FILM by a Hereford man who refused to pay his tax bill as a protest against the war in Iraq will feature at an Italian film festival next month.
Joe Jenkins, a teacher and writer from Green Street, St James, refused to pay 10% of his income tax bill and is a member of the Peace Tax Seven.
Filmed over five years, Contempt of Conscience follows the group’s attempts to change the law to give people the right not to pay taxes for military purposes.
The documentary receives its world premiere at the 13th Milano Film Festival, which runs from tomorrow (Friday) to September 21.
