As Europeans we’re all taught the horrors of World War 2. How it ravaged the continent and bought untold suffering and death to millions.

Europe as a construct was built from the ashes of this world war as a means to prevent it ever happening again.

This film is a stark, painful wake up call for all Europeans that Vladimir Putin has reawakened what we thought would never happen again.

Ukrainians are Europeans, Mariupol is a European city, and this is a film about what is happening, now in Europe in 2024.

If you’ve ever been in doubt, or you’ve grown weary of war in the news, let this film be a reminder to Europeans to what Ukrainians are dying to protect us from.

  1. 20 days in Mariupol is a shocking experience for those who haven´t been on site Ukraina. Been there six time since the war started and still this documentary brought the tears of rage in my eyes. Slava Ukraini! Smert okupantam! Oko za oko!

  2. I had to watch it in 3 days. Too hard to digest. I wonder what happened to all of those Ukrainians once the russians occupied the city. I do hope they managed to survive and escape.

  6. I am Ukrainian and I can’t force myself to watch. It feels like It would shattered my sanity even further. Maybe one day I would have enough courage, but not today. But It’s good that it exists and it spreads the knowledge of realities of war to people who is less aware.

  7. Having seen it, I can certainly say it’s not an easy watch.

  8. It’s a movie you don’t want to see but you need to see.
    It’s a horrible movie. He make me sick. And that’s why it’s a movie to see. He brutal on is subject and on the horror he document. But that’s happen. Like “Nuit et brouillard” you need to be ready about what you will see.

  11. Finnish public broadcast company is showing the movie on their online service. The movie showed the true victims of the war. Haven’t seen as pure desperation and complete hopelessness in any movie before. An we all know how the story of Mariupol ended.

  13. excellent film depicting the liberation of mariupol from ukranian militants

  14. I’m trying to find how to watch it in Germany but I can’t find it anywhere?

    Edit: found it on youtube don’t worry!

  17. And before you watch it, make sure to watch “Winter on Fire” it’s a Netflix Movie and free on YouTube

  18. Remember the EU was formed to establish peace. Not invest the billions in defense.

  20. I watched it in a cinema in Warsaw months back. First time ever I’ve been in a cinema hall where most people were crying. Gut-wrenching movie.
