“20 Days in Mariupol” Wins Oscar for Best Documentary

HeadlineMar 11, 2024

The Oscar for best documentary went to “20 Days in Mariupol” about Russia’s siege on the Ukrainian city. The film was directed by Mstyslav Chernov, a Ukrainian video journalist with the Associated Press.

Mstyslav Chernov: “This is the first — this is the first Oscar in the Ukrainian history. And I’m honored. I’m honored. But probably I will be the first director on this stage who will say I wish I would never made this film. I wish to be able to exchange this to Russia never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities.”
