Caught in a forest between Belarus and Poland a Kurdish family becomes a geopolitical pawn. Picking up issues explored in Agnieszka Holland’s GREEN BORDER this observational documentary focuses on 16 year old Rana Husni who shoulders her family’s emotional and practical burden after her mother dies. Forced quickly into adulthood she supports her younger brothers and their illiterate father, finding moments of joy in their refugee camp existence. Filmed with sensitivity to their trauma we follow their dreams and fears whilst waiting in limbo, with black and white drawings in Rana’s sketch book embodying her nightmares.
Contains distressing scenes of loss.
Followed by a Q&A with the director Agnieszka Zwiefka
