The war in Ukraine may no longer dominate the headlines, but the brutal fight for freedom continues — and brave filmmakers are risking everything to tell the world what’s really happening on the front lines.
Oscar-winning Ukrainian filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov, who won Best Documentary Feature for his 2023 Academy Award-winning film 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL, returns with his powerful new documentary 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA. This gripping film captures the intense 2023 battle to drive Russian forces out of the small village of Andriivka, Ukraine.
Using raw body cam footage, immersive drone shots, and frontline cinematography, Chernov delivers an unflinching look at the courage, sacrifice, and reality of Ukraine’s ongoing fight for survival. Masterful editing transforms chaotic combat into a clear, deeply human story that demands to be seen — and felt.
As difficult as it can be to watch at times, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA reminds us why frontline documentaries are more vital now than ever, leaving us wiser and more inspired from the experience.
