Film Screening | 20 Days in Mariupol

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.
