Facing the shores of the bright Sea of Azov and flanked by two massive metallurgical complexes to the north and south, the Ukrainian city of Mariupol was thriving before it was attacked by the Russian army on February 24, 2022. With no evacuation or defense plan in place, many civilians believed the crisis would be resolved within days. By the time the true scale of the assault became clear, Mariupol had already been encircled. Based on over twenty original testimonies gathered in Ukraine, "Mariúpol, última batalla" weaves together the experiences of survivors and fighters caught between a revanchist geopolitical power and a small Ukrainian garrison, including ultranationalist forces, determined to defend the city at all costs.
