Mariupol: The People's Story

Before the war in Ukraine, Mariupol was a thriving city, home to 430,000 people. In a little under three months, most of its citizens had fled Putin's army and thousands had been killed. This Panorama special, filmed and told by residents, is the story of their loss, bravery, determination, and incredible daring in making their escape. They were among those who sought refuge in the Mariupol Theatre, only for it to be bombed, the maternity hospital which was also hit and the Azovstal Steelworks, where hundreds hid in bunkers and Ukrainian forces made their last stand.
