Interview With "2000 Meters To Andriivka" Filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov

"2000 Meters To Andriivka" had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it received a strong, positive reception, with critics praising it as a worthy follow-up to Mstyslav Chernov's Academy Award-winning film, "20 Days In Mariupol." The film follows Chernov and journalist Alex Babenko as they follow a Ukrainian platoon on a mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka across 2000 meters of land surrounded by landmines. Chernov was kind enough to return to the podcast and speak with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing theatrically in New York with a national rollout to follow from PBS Distribution, and a broadcast on Frontline scheduled for December. Thank you, and enjoy!
