Ukrainian filmmaker and journalist Mstyslav Chernov depicts Mariupol under siege and the courage of its residents fighting to survive in an impressive documentary. During the siege and assault that began in Mariupol, as bombs fell on the city and access to electricity, food, water, and medicine was cut off, the team consisting of the only journalists left in the city struggle to report on the atrocities and get their footage out to the world. When they are finally surrounded by Russian soldiers, they seek shelter in a hospital and look for a way to escape. Facing so much death, Chernov and his colleagues wonder whether reporting will make a difference.
