About Kent Truog: Multimedia Producer

A Seattle native, documentary filmmaker and photographer Kent Truog's dedication to telling stories of social justice and conservation began while attending Boston’s Emerson College, where he earned a degree in Multimedia Production in 2006. 

Since then, he has partnered with fellow storytellers, nongovernmental organizations, and corporations around the world to document the stories of young women on the verge of aging out of an orphanage in Honduras, squatters struggling in an urban Indonesian dump, gender empowerment through coffee farming in Kenya, and victims of sex trafficking and forced labor in Cambodia. His projects aim to draw attention to marginalized populations throughout the world.

Kent currently lives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where he is directing a conservation documentary on the critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphin for the World Wildlife Fund, and is collaborating with photojournalist Steve Shelton on a series of documentaries on the Doro Refugee Camp in South Sudan.
