They hid all the memory cards with the footage in the women’s belongings. The producer also managed to sneak in the testimony of Tyra’s paramedic.

The producer of the documentary film 20 days in Mariupol, Vasilisa Stepanenko, told how the team removed the footage from the occupied city. He spoke about this in an interview with TV presenter Marichka Padalko.

According to him, during the last days of his stay in Mariupol, he and his team realized that it was dangerous to stay in the city, because the Russian media had already called them “information terrorists,” so that the invaders could identify them. In addition, the journalists’ equipment began to break down, and all the memory cards were exhausted.

On March 14, they received a message from the editorial office that they had to leave the city. They were supposed to leave with Red Cross volunteers, but the evacuation was cut short. The policeman Vladimir, saving his family, agreed to take the film crew.

“The last Red Cross volunteers were leaving, we thought we were leaving the meeting place, they left without us with his car and took his family and decided to leave,” said Vasilisa.

The team understood that they were risking their own lives, because with the footage they had to go through many Russian checkpoints, so they tried to hide the important videos in women’s belongings. Stepanenko said that at the time they believed that men would be scrutinized more carefully.

In addition, they even created a special legend for the invaders so as not to arouse any suspicion.

“When we were traveling, we tried to hide all these cards in my pocket, in my clothes Vladimir’s son hid everything in his clothes I had a paramedic of Tyra I actually hid it in the tampon no I know what’s on this card, but I understand that it’s still unbelievable that I survived I believe that we were able to bring these materials through 15 checkpoints of Russia and we were able to make this film and show it ,” he shared.

It was previously reported that the film 20 days in Mariupol, which received the first Oscar for Ukraine, will return to theaters.
