About ‘20 Days in Mariupol’
‘20 Days in Mariupol’ tells about the russian attack on the city on February 24, 2022, the bombing of residential neighborhoods and maternity hospital, the people who lived and worked under the blockade of the city and how Chernov, along with colleagues — photographer Evgeniy Maloletka and journalist Vasilisa Stepanenko —managed to escape from the city surrounded by russian occupiers.
Mstyslav Chernov made all the footage during his 20-day stay in Mariupol.
