green border
Dir. Agnieszka Holland

"Green Border," directed by Agnieszka Holland, is a compelling drama set against the backdrop of the real-life geopolitical crisis at the Poland-Belarus border. The film intricately portrays the harrowing experiences of refugees from the Middle East and Africa, who find themselves caught in a political game orchestrated by Belarus to destabilize the EU. The narrative interweaves the lives of a Syrian refugee family, a young border guard, and a psychologist turned activist, highlighting the human cost of political maneuvers and the struggle for safety and dignity amidst harsh border policies.

The film is shot in a stark, realistic style, effectively using its visual and narrative elements to engage the audience with the refugees' plight and the moral conflicts faced by those on the ground. Agnieszka Holland uses her directorial prowess to deliver a narrative that is both gripping and profoundly human, challenging the audience to confront the dehumanizing aspects of migration policies and the resilience of those affected by them
