It's the story of a crime against humanity seen through the eyes of the victims who managed to survive. Three women and two men who lived in Mariupol during the first month of the Russian invasion of Ukraine tell us what they saw and felt, and how decisions were made during the war. The diaries of one of the heroines, Mariupol journalist Nadia Sukhorukova, are given a voice. She witnessed hundreds of deaths in less than a month and wrote down everything that she experienced. Through Nadiya’s chronicles of the blockade on social media, people could see and sympathise with what thousands of people felt and experienced. This is the story of a city where everything but hope has been destroyed.
