From an American immigrant eight-year-old to life-changing philanthropist, The Legacy of Joe focuses on a man who avoids the public, yet has worked tirelessly throughout his life to ensure civic responsibility. Featured briefly in Ken Burn’s documentary, Sharp’s War, this film takes an in-depth look at the life of a man who escaped the Nazis with his little brother and started a new life in the United States. Joseph A. Strasser has devoted his life to supporting educational endeavors, early-education crime prevention, environmental efforts and animal wellness. His personal acts of kindness go unrecognized, yet his deeds are appreciated by individuals who have no public voice. The film highlights a man who attributes his incredibly financial success to one thing: the opportunity to make a new life in America.
