Exciting news for every Ukrainian – the Ukrainian film “20 Days in Mariupol” won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. The film sheds light on the bravery of Ukrainian journalists and the truth about what is going on in Ukraine.
History has been made as it is the first Oscar in the history of Ukrainian filmmaking 🏆🇺🇦.
Ukrainian filmmaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mstyslav Chernov gave a powerful speech while accepting the Oscar trophy, saying “The people of Mariupol and those who have given their lives will never be forgotten because cinema forms memories and memories form history”.
