Ukrainian journalist Mstyslav Chernov arrives at the strategically key city of Mariupol, Ukraine just as Russian forces begin assaulting the city on the first day of their full-scale invasion. Sending dispatches to AP, Chernov and his team bear witness as the beautiful city is ravaged with death, bombings, and disintegration, one devastating day at a time. Refusing to leave until the last possible moment, Chernov and his team capture defining images that galvanize the West to rally to his country’s defense.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Mstyslav Chernov and editor/producer Michelle Mizner.
