“20 Days in Mariupol,” a documentary chronicling the siege of the Ukrainian city Mariupol, has received an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary, marking a historic first for The Associated Press in its 178-year history. Created by Ukrainian journalist and filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov, the film was co-produced by the AP and PBS’ “Frontline” and captured during the initial three weeks of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. The documentary unflinchingly portrays the siege’s harsh realities, including a child’s death, mass graves, and a bombed maternity hospital, offering a stark depiction of the conflict’s human cost.
