About this Event
Sunday 30 June 2024, 3:00pm – 5:30pm
The Ukrainian Council of NSW and the Polish Club Ashfield are hosting a fundraising screening of the BAFTA and Oscar winning ’20 Days in Mariupol’.
Ukrainian filmmaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mstyslav Chernov offers an unflinching, anguishing account of the 20 days he and colleagues spent covering Mariupol.
The film is a cinematic tour de force that transcends the boundaries of traditional documentary-making, delivering a visceral and unforgettable account of war. 20 Days in Mariupol stands as one of the most impactful documentaries of our time.
By attending this event, you will not only enjoy a remarkable film, but gain a deeper insight into the realities of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the impact of atrocities committed and the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit.
