An Oscar-winning Ukrainian director's unflinching film from the frontline, where a small group of soldiers fight their way two kilometers through a harsh landscape to liberate a village in ruins.

With barely a hundred inhabitants, the village of Andriivka is a dot on the map. But the town is strategically important, and when Russia invades Ukraine, a group of soldiers are tasked with liberating the town. From their position two kilometers away, they must fight their way through a harsh landscape under constant attack to reach and liberate the village from the occupying forces. 
Oscar-winning director Mstyslav Chernov (’20 Days in Mariupol’, 2023) is with them. ‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ shows us a slice of the war in every detail. From the command center to the battlefield (shot with cameras mounted on the soldiers’ helmets), and to the burial of the dead. 

Chernov’s film ranks among the most important (anti-)war films in history and is not blind to the desperation and hopelessness that is the tragic and chilling reality of any war. The film won the Directing Award for World Documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
