2000 meters to andriivka
A Ukrainian platoon's mission: traverse a heavily fortified mile of forest to liberate a strategic village from Russian forces. A journalist accompanies them, witnessing the ravages of war and the growing uncertainty about its conclusion. Amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023, Pulitzer Prize-winning AP journalist Mstyslav Chernov and his AP colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian platoon traversing through one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the small, Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. But as 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.
FOLKTALES
From Academy Award®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp), FOLKTALES follows a group of teenagers who embark on an unconventional “gap year” in the Arctic wilderness, learning to dog sled, survive the elements, and search for connection and purpose in an increasingly disconnected world.
Today, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students. FOLKTALES tells the timely and emotional story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of Alaskan huskies, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land, animals and humans around them.
