Father Joseph

Father Joseph established Haiti’s largest micro-credit bank for the poor, giving literacy training and financial opportunity to hundreds of thousands of impoverished women and their families. He also founded a 700-student K-14 school, an orphanage, a clean water project, a reforestation program, a health clinic, and a radio station; he has built dozens of homes, and he created the University of Fondwa, Haiti’s first rural college. Almost all of Father Joseph’s 25 years of work was destroyed by the 2010 earthquake, but he is rebuilding with an inspiring humor and determination. This documentary is a tribute to the man, the myth, and the legend himself.
