Academy-Award winning director tells the surprising story of 100 years of giving.
One hundred years ago, a school started by Milton Hershey, founder of the iconic
chocolate company, began to profoundly and positively impact the
lives of children in need. On October 6, 2009, the story of the
school was unveiled at a screening of Living the Legacy: The Untold
Story of MILTON HERSHEY SCHOOL. This “greatest story never told”
is a gritty, heartwarming depiction of the struggles and triumphs
of the students as witnessed by academy award-winning director,
Cynthia Wade.
