Two years ago, on February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Mariupol, Ukraine. The siege was so quick—and the violence so indiscriminate—that only one video crew managed to get footage out of the city. Led by videographer and documentarian Mstyslav Chernov, a team of Associated Press journalists later put together video of their experience on the ground for a documentary titled 20 Days in Mariupol.
’d love to start with a question about you—and how you got into this job as an on-the-ground reporter for Associated Press. Although you’re running around and filming in Ukraine, not much is said in the documentary about who you are and why you’re there.MSTYSLAV CHERNOV: That’s good, actually. There’s a reason why there is very little. Although it’s a personal story—I am telling the story of the community I live in—it’s not a story about me.
