Associated Press video journalist Mstyslav Chernov's Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting of the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is illuminated in his documentary “20 Days in Mariupol,” a joint project between The Associated Press and PBS “Frontline.
AP video journalist Mstyslav Chernov hopes his documentary “20 Days in Mariupol” shows the horror of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. FILE - Photographer Evgeniy Maloletka, from left, “Frontline” producer/editor Michelle Mizner, director Mstyslav Chernov, and field producer Vasilisa Stepanenko pose for a portrait to promote the film “20 Days in Mariupol” at the Latinx House during the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023, in Park City, Utah.
“It’s just a lens through which we see the stories of Mariupol’s residents, the death, their suffering the destruction of their homes,” he said. “At the same time, I felt that I can do it. I’m allowed to do it because I’m part of the community. I was born in eastern Ukraine and photographer who worked with me was born in the city which is right next to Mariupol, which got occupied. So this is our story too.”“It’s OK to tell the audiences about your emotions,” he said.
After Chernov left Mariupol and was finally able to catch up with the news reports around the world, he was stunned by the effect their footage had. They followed up with people they’d met during their time there, some who got out, others who didn’t, and asked whether or not they’d affected their lives.
“I don’t know how much of that is our footage, how much of that is just what happens,” Chernov said. “But I really would like to believe that we did make a difference, because I guess that’s what journalism is about, to inform people so they make certain decisions.”At Sundance he was able to watch the film, edited by Michelle Mizner of “Frontline,” with an audience two times. The film got a standing ovation at the premiere.
