An Associated Press 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 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.
The Ukraine Solidarity Campaign was founded in 2014 and cooperates with independent trade unions and other civil society organisations in Ukraine. The campaign has the formal support of a number of national trade unions and MPs. Since the all-out invasion, the Campaign has been engaged in educational campaigning to win support for Ukraine and aid activities.
