Daria - Love and War
Alan Dein's chance encounters with souls via social media is a decade old. Daria, in Ukraine, has shared many trials and tribulations since DLO began. Now she finds hope in wartime
Alan Dein has charted ten years of Don't Log Off. Encounters with anyone, anywhere via social media. Complete strangers sharing lives and worlds. Some he never hears from again, others become constant companions, updating Dein on their ever-changing world.
Daria began sharing her life in Ukraine from the very outset of the series. A remarkable powerhouse of energy and hope who has battled cancer, is a wheelchair user and suffers a chronic medical condition - nothing, it seems, daunts her or dents her optimism for her life and her hopes for her country. Ever since 2014 and the coming of hybrid war to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine, Daria has charted the divisions and bitterness it has brought. But now, as the rockets strike her country and she takes shelter from the war, DarIa speaks of love and hope.
