20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL

Mstyslav Chernov, UK, 2023
95 min., eOV
An Associated Press (AP) team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting 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. The film draws on AP Journalist Mstyslav 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.
Followed by a panel discussion with:
Teuta Grazhdani – Head, International Organization for Migration (IOM) Ukraine Support Office
France Maroeviæ – Executive Director, International Press Institute (IPI)
Teresa Ribeiro – Representative on Freedom of the Media, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)
