Don't Log Off - Connection & Separation

Connection & Separation

Download Connection & Separation

Alan Dein crosses the world via Facebook and Skype, hearing the real life dramas of random strangers.

Hooked up to a computer well into the early hours of the morning, Alan circumnavigates the globe online inviting anyone and everyone to talk to him. He never knows who he will be speaking to next or what secrets they will reveal.

In the first programme, Alan hears stories of connection and separation. He connects with a man in Cairo as a gunfight rages outside, a French woman nervously awaiting a meeting with her estranged father and a Brazilian man mystified at the disappearance of an online lover.

Producer: Laurence Grissell.
