Green Border
In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
This film is a stark, unflinching look at an urgent humanitarian crisis. It feels profoundly grim and emotionally taxing, immersing viewers in a world of desperate struggle and moral ambiguity. The atmosphere is tense and bleak, demanding a reflective and empathetic engagement with its difficult realities.
