About

In today’s episode, we bring you a Q&A with filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov following the opening night screening of his film 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL on July 14, 2023. Chernov is a Ukrainian video journalist for the Associated Press who captured unspeakable atrocities committed against Ukrainian civilians by Russian troops during their siege of the port town of Mariupol in Sprint 2022. This reporting, for which Chernov and his team were awarded the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, is the basis for the film, which was produced by the AP and FRONTLINE PBS.  The Q&A included the film’s editor and producer Michelle Mizner of FRONTLINE and was moderated by CNN anchor John Berman. The screening was co-presented by the Ukrainian Institute of America, with an introduction by its executive director, Lydia Zaininger. Special thanks to Mstyslav Chernov, Michelle Mizner, John Berman, Lydia Zaininger, PBS Distribution, FRONTLINE PBS, Associated Press, and the Ukrainian Institute of America for making this event possible.  Photo by Elinor Kry.
