Marking World Press Freedom Day, the Roosevelt House Human Rights Program and PEN America present a documentary film screening and post-screening discussion of 20 Days in Mariupol. The post-screening discussion features director Mstyslav Chernov; Senior Vice President and Executive Editor of the Associated Press Julie Pace; President of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine Sergiy Tomilenko; and moderated bySuzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America. Welcoming remarks by Human Rights Program Director Jessica Neuwirth.
20 Days in Mariupol follows a team of Ukrainian journalists from the Associated Press, trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol, as they 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 became the defining images of the war in Ukraine: 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 AP, 20 Days in Mariupol is Mstyslav Chernov’s first feature-length film and an unflinching, anguishing account of the 20 days he and colleagues Evgeniy Maloletka and Vasilisa Stepanenko spent covering Mariupol. Drawing on Chernov’s daily news dispatches and personal footage of his own country at war, 20 Days in Mariupol is 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 a testimonial to the impact of such journalism around the globe.
