PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EMBASSY OF UKRAINE
In 20 Days in Mariupol, Ukrainian filmmaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mstyslav Chernov offers a harrowing, firsthand account of the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol as the invasion begins, Chernov and his team of Associated Press journalists became the only international reporters documenting the horrors of the war.
Drawing on Chernov’s personal footage and daily dispatches, this Oscar-winning documentary provides an unflinching look at the human cost of war and the relentless pursuit of truth under impossible conditions. A powerful and vital testament to the role of journalists in conflict zones and the lasting impact of their work around the globe.
Oscar winner in 2024 for Best Documentary Feature.
