Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature
An AP team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged
city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting atrocities of the
Russian invasion. As the only international reporters who remain in the city,
they capture what 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 the Russia-Ukraine war, for The Associated Press, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL
is Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Mstyslav Chernov’s first feature film. The
film draws on Chernov’s daily news dispatches and personal footage of his own
country at war. It offers a vivid, 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 of such journalism around the globe. (Ukraine, USA, 2023, 95 mins, Ukrainian, English, Russian | Dir. Mstyslav
Chernov)
