Presentation of ‘The Siege of Mariupol’ in London

What to expect?

From the very first days of the full-scale invasion, Evgeniy Maloletka documented life and death in the besieged city. In his book, he shares deeply personal reflections, whilst also recording war crimes and revealing the horrors that unfolded on the city’s streets, in its cellars and hospitals. Come along to hear the story behind the images seen around the world, and to learn the truth about war journalism and the role of photography in documenting the truth. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with the author, moderated by Lori Hinnant.
