Academy Award Winner 2024 (Documentary)
Lighthouse Arts Centre

May 26, 4:00-5:30 pm
“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.” ~ 20daysinmariupol.com/#about
