In PersonGBH Premiere Screening: FRONTLINE’s 2000 Meters to Andriivka
Join us for a special screening of FRONTLINE’s new film, 2000 Meters to Andriivka, at GBH Studios! 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 toward 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 Associated Press 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.
Doors open at 6:30pm. Seating is general admission in GBH’s Yawkey Theater. Light refreshments will be available for sale. Film runtime is 2 hours 3 minutes. -
