The award-winning documentary 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA is set to make its streaming premiere later this month, arriving on the PBS app and website on November 25th, 2025 at 10p ET. It will also be broadcast on PBS as part of their Frontline documentary series. The film world premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival before launching in US theaters in limited release on July 25th, 2025.
From the Oscar-winning team behind 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a personal and devastating vantage point. Following his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens towards Ukrainian soldiers — who they are, where they came from, and the impossible decisions they face in the trenches as they fight for every inch of their land.
Amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023, Chernov and his AP colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian brigade battling through approximately one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka.
Weaving together original footage, intensive Ukrainian Army bodycam video and powerful moments of reflection, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA reveals with haunting intimacy, the farther the soldiers advance through their destroyed homeland, the more they realize that, for them, this war may never end.
The film won the Directing Award: World Cinema Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, and was nominated in the category of “Best Documentary Feature” at this year’s Gotham Awards. It was also selected as the Ukrainian entry for the Best International Feature Film for this year’s Academy Awards.
