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 in the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so-called "green border" between Belarus and Poland where 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. 30 years after EUROPA EUROPA, three-time Oscar Nominee Agnieszka Holland's poignant new feature challenges us to reflect on the moral choices that fall to ordinary people every day.
An additional screening of Green Border will take place on the 6th of March as the Opening Gala of the Kinoteka Polish Film Festival 2024 and will be followed by a Q&A with director Agnieszka Holland. Please see other listing.
