20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL Oscar Winner @ Burns Court Cinema

Ukraine war film 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL won Oscar for best documentary at the 2024 Oscars. The documentary reveals how a group of journalists struggled to stay alive in besieged city of Mariupol, while coming face to face with the atrocities of the war brought on by Russian Forces. Local to Tampa Bay non-profit organization Danube International and Sarasota Film Society worked together in bringing this movie, a testimony of war crimes committed by Russian forces in Ukraine, to the screen of Burns Court movie theater. Danube International Organization, established in 2005, main focus has been helping Ukrainian refugees, who settled in our comminutes while fleeing the war, and Ukrainian women, children, elderly and disabled in Ukraine since March of 2022, the beginning of an active war on the territory of Ukraine ignited by Russia.

The profits from the movie tickets will help purchase food, medicine and basic necessities for Ukrainian civilians residing behind the frontlines.  Danube International receives receipts on every carton of milk purchased, every loaf of bread, food item, diaper and medicine.

The price of a ticket is $20. The movie will be featured on Wednesday, April 17th at the Burns Court Cinema (506 Burns Ct, Sarasota, FL 34236). At 6 pm we welcome everyone to take their seats. At 6:30 we will have a speaker – a family who lived in Mariupol when the war started; a young man and his pregnant wife fled under the heavy shelling in attempt to save the life of their unborn child. Movie starts at 7:00pm. The invitation has been sent to the mayor of Sarasota to speak on the occasion. You can purchase tickets through Danube International volunteers or online.

We hope to see you there! Please help us make a difference; please help us save innocent lives.
