FRONTLINE and the Associated Press return to Ukraine with “2000 Meters to Andriivka,” a gripping new documentary from the Oscar-winning team behind “20 Days in Mariupol.” The film embeds with Ukrainian soldiers fighting to reclaim a village outside Kyiv, offering an unfiltered view of life — and loss — in a grinding, three-year conflict. FRONTLINE’s Editor-in-Chief and Executive Producer Raney Aronson-Rath joins The Culture Show to talk about the filmmakers, the collaboration, and the responsibility of documenting war. “2000 Meters to Andriivka,” premieres on November 25th on PBS and various streaming platforms.

After a catastrophic flood shut down its North End theater last March, Improv Asylum is officially back at 216 Hanover Street. Following months of rebuilding and reimagining, the company celebrated its Grand Reopening in October — and returned with its Main Stage revue, “The North End Justifies the Means.” Co-founder and CEO Norm Laviolette joins The Culture Show to talk about the flood, the comeback, and what’s next for the comedy institution.
