Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested.

Americans: never let people give you shit for complaining about your taxes. Your tax system is a hellgrade catastrophe.
As a travelling musician from outside of the country, I'm having to file tax returns in twenty states as well as federal taxes. Of those twenty states, sixteen won't let a non-resident file their return online so I have to mail them in myself.
Also of those twenty states, I've only successfully paid my taxes in four states after an entire day of trying to force them to take my money. Some states will outright not accept non-US addresses or phone numbers when you try to pay your tax. What a funny April fools prank. North Carolina won't let you pay unless you have a card connected to a US bank account.
I owe Idaho $10! And their online tax payment system isn't working! At all! Hahaha!!!
Also who the fUCk bases their tax system around sending and receiving cheques in 2025?
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN A CHEQUEBOOK SINCE 1998
