"That one wonderful teacher and the loving parents depicted said more about real Kentucky values and the inherent skills and timid aspirations of our citizens than the many volumes I have read and program learning materials I have seen....I really cannot say enough good things about the multi-layered messages in that show." - Virginia Fox, Executive Director, Kentucky Educational Television

"Hands On" goes inside an eastern Kentucky classroom to examine the potential of a student-centered, democratically run learning environment. Teacher Linda Oxendine-Brown and her 24 second graders are the collective managers of their classroom and the focus of this chronicle of their activities during the 1989-90 school year in rural Knox County.

Today we celebrate the incredible life of Loretta Lynn and still feel her loss.

Loretta was not only a prolific country music icon but a brilliant fighter for the rights of women and a beacon of hope for us all.

Rest easy, Loretty.

We had a beautiful community gathering and screening on Monday evening of Anna Richardson White’s stunning short film Appalheads. It was wonderful to see so many “Appalheads” — past and present — come together!

Thank you, Anna, for sharing your film with the Appalshop and greater Letcher County community, and thank you to everyone who attended. It was truly a heartwarming evening. 🍎💚
