The BAFTA 2026-nominated documentary 2000 Meters To Andriivka is coming to Sky and NOW shortly. Get the details here.
The 2026 BAFTA Film Award-nominated documentary “2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA” is set to premiere on Sky Documentaries and the streaming service NOW on 12 February.
PREMISE
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. After his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, director Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens towards Ukrainian soldiers. We learn who they are and where they came from. In the film, we also see the impossible decisions they face in the trenches. As a result, we witness them fighting 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.
NOMINATIONS AND AWARDS
The film earned a nomination for Best Documentary at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards. It made its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Here, it received the World Cinema Documentary Competition Directing Award. It has since gone on to receive major international recognition, including awards at CPH:DOX, Stockholm International Film Festival and Docaviv. These go alongside multiple Critics’ Choice Documentary Award and Cinema Eye Honours nominations and a Gotham Award nomination.

MSTYSLAV CHERNOV
Director Mstyslav Chernov said,
“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.”
