In 2012, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed into law drastic tax cuts-the largest in the state's history-in hopes of pulling the state out of a recession. Massive breaks allowed 330,000 businesses to take advantage and slashed personal income taxes. This Independent Lens documentary film explores how the "Kansas experiment" negatively affected schools and hospitals and why the tax policy that turned out to be a mess was eventually voted out.
