'Legacy' capture the heart of a subject by artfully expressing the most important aspects of that life and how the subject has uniquely touched and changed the world in one lifetime. Dancer, choreographer, and Boston University Professor, Joseph Gifford, 94, the subject of this first film, is the last surviving member of the Humphrey-Weidman dance troupe.

As someone who continues to evolve, Joe's legacy is both authentic and universal.
