Young Appalachian Story Summit Keynote with Oakley Fugate 2019

Oakley Fugate was born and raised in Whitesburg, Kentucky, and has been making films since 2012. A long-term Appalachian Media Institute intern, Peer Trainer, Photographer & Filmmaker, he cites the discrimination that he has faced due to his Asperger's as his inspiration to create films about human rights.

Oakley was selected in 2019 as one of Open Society Foundations’ Youth Exchange Fellows and is currently focusing on documentary films about LGBTQ youth in Eastern Kentucky, drawing a connection between exclusion on the basis of disability and orientation.
