Mariupol. The city that doesn't exist
Great tragedy through the eyes of an ordinary person
On February 24, Russia began a war with Ukraine. During the battles for Mariupol the city was almost entirely destroyed. The life of the Mariupol’s people changed forever.
Some of them have been killed by shelling, destruction or starvation. Some have to remain silent, because they can lose freedom for the wrong words. But there are also those who witnessed the catastrophe. Five of the film’s heroes managed to get out of the fire, they told about the city before the war and how they got out of hell.
This film was made by our colleagues, who for security reasons were unable to post it on their channel. This film is about the city that does not exist anymore.
