A photo exhibition dedicated to the upcoming FRONTLINE project of PBS and the Associated Press. The exhibition featured the works of Ukrainian documentary filmmakers, members of the UWPP and Pulitzer Prize winners Mstislav Chernov and Yevhen Malolletka.

"There were no funerals. There were no public gatherings to honor those who died during Russia's incessant attacks on the port city of Mariupol, which has become a symbol of Ukraine's fierce resistance. Only mass graves reminded us of the city under siege."

The world would not have seen any of this if it were not for the team of Associated Press journalists Mstislav Chernov and Yevgeny Malolletko, who were in the city when the invasion began. They stayed in Mariupol even after it became one of the most dangerous places on earth. For more than two weeks now, they have been the only international media in the city and the only journalists able to transmit video and photos to the outside.

Thanks to their work, the world learned about the bloody atrocities committed by the Russians during the capture of the city, including the attack on the Mariupol maternity hospital, which became a symbol of the brutality of this war.
