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 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.
The Garden Cinema View:
Following 20 Days in Mariupol, Mstyslav Chernov and his team have once again embedded themselves at the centre of the fighting in Ukraine, providing quite unbelievable proximity to the front lines of this grinding conflict. This is as immediate a record as it is realistically possible to achieve. A terrifying (and disturbingly thrilling) confrontation with the utter inhumanity of modern warfare, a stark reminder of the current war in Europe, and a film that carries an implicit warning regarding humanity’s future.
