20 Dias Em Mariupol

A team of Ukrainian journalists from the Associated Press (AP) trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol are fighting to continue their work documenting the atrocities of the Russian invasion. As the only international reporters remaining in the city, they capture what will later become defining images of the war: dying children, mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and more. After nearly a decade covering international conflicts, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, for the Associated Press, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL is Mstyslav Chernov's first feature film. The film draws on Chernov's daily news reports and personal footage from his homeland at war. It offers a vivid and harrowing account of civilians caught in the siege, as well as a window into what it's like to report from a conflict zone and the impact that kind of journalism has around the world.
