Description

Master filmmaker Agnieszka Holland turns her lens to the refugee crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border in her straight-shooting and soul-shattering drama Green Border. Beautifully crafted in stunning black and white, the film follows a group of African and Middle Eastern migrants traveling through the swampy forests of Belarus as they attempt to enter the European Union. Their journey is harrowing, and just when we feel as trapped, desperate, and repeatedly victimized as the refugees, the lens changes to the point-of-view of the border guards, and then to a group of Polish citizens trying to ensure that all people are provided with basic human rights. Holland's film is a poignant and essential clarion call that opens our eyes and pulls at our heartstrings, challenging viewers to reflect on the moral choices that ordinary people make every day.
