About the Film:
Based on 
true events
, 
"People of Steel"
 tells the 
extraordinary story of the defenders of Mariupol
, who held their ground at 
Azovstal
 against overwhelming odds. This powerful documentary 
exposes war crimes, torture, and the ongoing suffering of thousands of Ukrainian prisoners of war
, many of whom remain in captivity.
The film also 
documents the devastation of Mariupol
, where civilians—including women and children—sought refuge in underground bunkers for months while Russian forces relentlessly 
bombed hospitals, homes, and humanitarian corridors
.
Through 
interviews with freed prisoners, the families of missing soldiers, and exclusive battlefield footage
, 
"People of Steel"
 serves as a 
powerful testament to human resilience and sacrifice
