'Diaries in Exile' Trailer

Directly from the Polish/Ukrainian border, "Diaries in Exile" chronicles the personal stories of the Ukrainian refugees and the immigrants who called Ukraine home.

Experts predict this to be the largest humanitarian crisis Europe has seen since the 1990s. Putin’s aim is to dehumanize the people of Ukraine in order to legitimize his unjustifiable war. "Diaries in Exile" attempts to reveal the human consequences of forced displacement.

As two individuals who have also been displaced by this war, producers Elina Alem Kent and Romana Isabella speak to these individuals not as foreigners trying to extract a quotable story, but as fellow displaced people who understand and empathize with their trauma.

These are heartbreaking stories of resilience, determination, strength & courage. Thank you for sharing these critically important stories from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Wishing there was more I could do - making donations yet feeling so helpless. #IStandWithUkraine

I find it easy to empathize with people, it's in my nature. I know war, but for those who don't or are less able to empathize with the level of suffering now being experienced in Ukraine this documentary should open some eyes. I look forward to it's completion and hope all Russians find the eyes to see it for their sake, the sake of Ukraine, and the world. Beautifully and simply done. Stay safe, Alem. #IStandWithUkraine

Thank you. An individual person’s suffering isn’t less if there are a million people suffering. It just seems as though it’s easier to ignore.
