20 Days in Mariupol
Film8pm
A team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work recording atrocities of the Russian invasion.
As the only international reporters who remain in the city, they capture what later became defining images of the war.
After nearly a decade covering international conflicts for the Associated Press, Mstyslav Chernov’s first feature, winner of the Audience Award for World Cinema Documentary at Sundance, offers a vivid, harrowing account of life for civilians caught in the siege, as well as revealing the perils of reporting from a conflict zone, and the impact of such journalism around the globe.
