“2000 Meters to Andriivka” documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a deeply personal vantage point. Amid a failing 2023 counteroffensive, Mstyslav Chernov and his AP colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian platoon as it traverses a heavily fortified mile of forest to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. Weaving together frontline footage, army bodycams, and powerful moments of reflection, the film reveals with haunting intimacy the soldiers’ growing uncertainty over the war’s end – if any.

* Recommended for ages 15 and over; depicts graphic scenes of war.
