Appalshop
Appalshop started as a film workshop in 1969, and 50 years later we're still making films about Appalachia. We also operate a radio station, a theater, a public art gallery, a record label, a professional archive, a filmmaking institute, and a community development program — all aimed at documenting and revitalizing the traditions and creativity of the people of these mountains. We tell stories that commercial industries don’t tell. We challenge stereotypes with Appalachian voices. And we do it all with artists who are from and committed to this region. Stream one of our films, come take in a live performance, or tune into our radio station from anywhere in the world.

Thank you so much! We have reached 10,000 subscribers on YouTube and we couldn't be happier to be able to share our films and the very real Appalachian stories within them with all of you. It's been a big year for us so far with almost 30 films released over the past 6 months and we're very excited to continue to release these films to you, the public!
