Mariupol: Chronicles of Hell
Made just this year, this documentary film tells the story of a city in the midst of total destruction. Prior to the Russian invasion on 25 February, this city on the north coast of the Sea of Avov was Ukraine’s 10th largest city, with a population of nearly half a million. Since February, it has undergone an occupation, total destruction, and humanitarian catastrophe. The occupying Russian forces freely murdered Ukrainian civilians and target every kind of civilian site. This film, completed shortly before the city finally fell to Russia, tells the story of the survivors.
