Ukraine: War Diaries

On the eve of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a team of Ukrainian journalists enter the strategic eastern port city of Mariupol. During the subsequent siege and assault, as bombs fall, inhabitants flee, and access to electricity, food, water, and medicine are severed, the team — the only international journalists left — struggles to cover the war atrocities and transmit their footage. Eventually, surrounded by Russian soldiers, they shelter in a hospital, unsure of how they’ll escape.
