Oscars 2024: “20 Days in Mariupol” is best documentary film. "I wish I never had to make this film," director Mstyslav Chernov said on stage.
The film documents the experiences of AP journalists during around three weeks in the Ukrainian port city when it was besieged by Russian forces in early 2022. "This is a humanitarian catastrophe, this is not a political question," Chernov told SPIEGEL shortly after accepting the award: "I'm standing here, my heart is in Ukraine"
