1. Synopsis of the Film 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL

20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL tells the story of a team of Ukrainian journalists from The Associated Press (AP) who are trapped in the city of Mariupol and struggle to continue their work documenting the atrocities of the Russian invasion. As the only international reporters remaining in the city, they capture what later becomes a depiction of a war showing dying children, mass graves, bombing of maternity hospitals, and much more.

After nearly a decade of covering international conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine war, for The Associated Press, 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL is the first feature-length documentary film by Mstyslav Chernov. The film draws on Chernov's daily news and his own personal recordings while at war.

The report provides a vivid and horrifying portrayal of civilians trapped in the siege and a glimpse into what it feels like to report from a conflict zone.
