The East Legacy

The East Legacy

Preserving the history of an extraordinary family

He believed in the family. He believed in the land. It was a way of life for him.

The East Legacy is a documentary about a ranch in Texas: remote, expansive, untouched, unseen. It survived against all odds because of a family who believed in hard work, respect, and the land itself.

This documentary about East Ranch in South Texas captures the stories of those who worked and lived on the East Ranch for generations. When Robert East died in 2007, he left the 215,000 acre family ranch to become the East Wildlife Foundation. This oral history project is an effort of the foundation to preserve the history and heritage of the family and their land.
