2000 Meters to Andriivka premiering on Sky Documentaries
February 11, 2026
2000 Meters to Andriivka will premiere on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW on February 12th.
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, director 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, AP journalist Chernov and his 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 realise that, for them, this war may never end. The film has been nominated for Best Documentary at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards. It made its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it received the World Cinema Documentary Competition Directing Award, and has since gone on to receive major international recognition, including awards at CPH:DOX, Stockholm International Film Festival and Docaviv, alongside multiple Critics Choice Documentary Award and Cinema Eye Honors nominations and a Gotham Award nomination.
Hayley Reynolds, Head of Documentary Commissioning at Sky, commented: “Through extraordinary bravery and access, 2000 Meters to Andriivka bears witness to war in real time, delivering a visceral, unmediated account of modern warfare in Ukraine. We are incredibly proud that Sky Documentaries will be the UK home of Mstyslav Chernov’s vital and unforgettable film.”
Chernov added: “I’m incredibly grateful that 2000 Meters to Andriivka is reaching audiences on Sky. Being able to share this story of people who defend my home matters deeply to me. I hope it encourages understanding and empathy at a time when our world is full of conflicts and radical opinions. I hope it shows how to remain human even in the most violent times.”
2000 Meters to Andriivka was negotiated for Sky Documentaries by Alex Wright.
