“Mariupol – Erasure of a City” documents the destruction of the once flourishing metropolis on the Sea of Azov. The filmmakers themselves were surprised by the Russian attack on their hometown. From the beginning of the war, they recorded the unspeakable suffering of the residents: constant shelling, destruction, collapse of infrastructure, water and food supplies. Original recordings from the besieged Mariupol are retrospectively supplemented by moving witness reports.
