"A harrowing first-person view of a ceaseless nightmare, defined by both blistering immediacy and crushing sadness." - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"Its haunting impact may go further toward reshaping viewer perceptions of the ongoing conflict." - Daniel Fienberg, The Hollywood Reporter
Opens August 1 | Encircled by mines and reachable through only a narrow strip of fiercely contested forest, the village of Andriivka, Ukraine, is occupied by Russian soldiers. Academy Award-winning journalist Mstyslav Chernov (20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL) returns to the frontline, documenting the Ukrainian platoon directed to liberate Andriivka, and capturing the desperate struggle to reclaim a nation under siege. From firefights to funerals, Chernov paints a vivid picture of a years-long war that has no end in sight. With honesty and intensity, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA portrays the pride and fierceness required to defend one’s homeland, and the horror that doing so leaves in its wake.
