We hear about Daughters of Donbas: The Songs of Stolen Children, a music project telling the stories of 20,000 and more Ukrainian children abducted from Ukraine to Russia. We hear an emotional reading by 19-year-old Liza from her diary detailing the experience of the invasion of Mariupol, and music performances by music leader of the project Marichka and Liza. The project's founder, award-winning journalist Dan Rosenberg explains why he was inspired to act, and they all talk about how much it means to them to be at Celtic Connections. Multi-instrumentalist David Allison discusses his project Painting with Sound and performs a Blues song live.
