As the Russian invasion of Ukraine begins, a team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting the war’s atrocities.
Harrowing but vital, 20 Days in Mariupol shows Ukrainians in disbelief as the bombardments start and horrific war crimes begin, hunkering down underground to escape the bombings and performing life saving acts of heroism amidst the gradual ruin of their once vibrant city.
A testament to the citizens of Mariupol and a tremendously important historical document, Mstyslav Chernov’s brave and visceral film shows how the concept of war with Russia became a merciless daily reality.
Mstyslav Chernov is a Pulitzer Prize- winning video journalist at The Associated Press and president of the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers. Since joining AP in 2014, he has covered major conflicts, social issues and environmental crises across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Most recently, Chernov documented Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Together with longtime colleague Evgeniy Maloletka, Chernov recorded the siege of Mariupol, showing the world eyewitness accounts of the Russian attacks on the city. Chernov’s courageous reporting in Mariupol earned the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. He was named 2016 Camera Operator of the Year and 2015 Young Talent of the Year by the UK’s Royal Television Society. He is from Eastern Ukraine and is based in Germany
