Two documentaries at the Sundance Film Festival explore the devastating impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine, one focusing on the experiences of Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines and the other exposing the Kremlin's propaganda campaign in Russian schools.
A YouTube screenshot of a scene from ‘2000 Meters to Andriivka’ directed by Mstyslav Chernov that is showing at the Sundance Film Festival 2025 is one of two new documentaries chronicling the impact of the Ukrainian-Russian war that has been ongoing since 2022.as a first-time user . Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codePARK CITY, Jan 26 — “What if this war is until the end of our lives?” asks the shell-shocked Ukrainian soldier, who has just “liberated” a village from Russian forces.
And, as devastating footage from soldier head-cams makes graphically clear, every meter reclaimed has cost horrific injury and death. It plays like an all-too-real action movie, and Chernov admitted he was “worried people wouldn’t see past the ‘bang bang.’”Besides visceral depictions of fighting, “2000 Meters to Andriivka” displays the dark humor, quotidian concerns and dogged determination of the 3rd Assault Brigade.
Following the invasion of Ukraine, schools across Russia received a mandatory new “patriotic” curriculum. Pavel “Pasha” Talankin – the school’s “event coordinator” – was instructed to film these propaganda lessons, and upload footage as proof they were being implemented to the Russian government. “What you’re seeing in the film basically is what Putin, the regime, is telling the children in Russia on a daily basis,” Borenstein told AFP.
