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 seeking passage to the European Union find themselves trapped in a geopolitical crisis.
A harrowing, urgent drama from veteran Polish director Agnieszka Holland, Green Border follows the intertwining stories of several pawns in this invisible war: Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life; Jan, a young border guard; and a Syrian family escaping the violence of their homeland.
