Mariupol: UNlost Hope

Monday 3 April at 9.30PM – UK PREMIERE ON PBS

Mariupol has suffered terribly following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Once the country’s tenth largest city, following a three-month-long siege its population has been reduced from over 425,000 to an estimated 100,000, with many of its civilians either dead or displaced.

Mariupol: UNLost Hope tells Mariupol’s story through the eyes of those who lived through the first month of the Russian invasion, creating a stark record of what has been described as a crime against humanity. Among them are journalist Nadia Sukhorukova, who describes being a spectator to the death of hundreds of people.

A shocking account of ordinary people trying to survive an extraordinary situation, it’s the story of a city where the only thing that hasn’t been destroyed is hope.
