The border crossing between Belarus and Poland is the location in this important and powerful, reality-based masterpiece from master director Agnieszka Holland. The film focuses on the politically manipulated humanitarian crisis that occurred in the region in 2021 when refugees from various war zones in the Middle East and North Africa were lured to the area with promises of an easy way into the EU but instead became pawns in an inhumane power game.

Green Border is a well-crafted and poignant film that sheds light on morality and humanity in a brave, compelling, and timely manner – a critically acclaimed film that won the jury's special prize and several other awards at the Venice Film Festival. In Poland, however, the film has faced resistance from authorities and those in power.
