Join WTTW, Doc10/Docs Across Chicago, and Frontline for a screening and discussion of a new film from the Oscar-winning director of 20 Days in Mariupol. 2000 Meters to Andriivka plunges the viewer into the trenches of Eastern Ukraine in 2023. Amid Ukraine’s brutalizing counteroffensive, the film follows Ukrainian platoons as they traverse a thin corridor of decimated forest, fighting for every inch of their land and creeping ever closer – 2000 meters, 1000 meters, 500 meters – to retake the town of Andriivka.
Take part in a Q&A with the film’s director-producer, Mstyslav Chernov, who will share how he skillfully balanced heart-stopping helmet-cam combat footage with profoundly intimate moments with the soldiers, revealing their vulnerability and humanity.
Winner of a Sundance Directing Award, 2000 Meters to Andriivka is “gut wrenching” (Toronto Star), “pensively devastating” (Variety), and “the most unbearably intense war documentary you’ll ever see” (The Daily Beast).
