Their photos and videos of Russian crimes splashed across the front pages and live broadcasts of mass media worldwide.

The notoriety obtained from their work in Mariupol led to Russian troops announcing a manhunt for the crew. The journalists managed to escape the surrounded city along the green corridor after 20 days.

The “20 Days in Mariupol” documentary will be presented at the Mykolaichuk OPEN festival to be held in the western city of Chernivtsi from June 15-20.
