Green Border

Sat, Sep 13, 2025
    Part of
  • Kino Polska
  • and
  • BAM Film 2025
Directed by Agnieszka Holland (2023)
With Jalal Altawil, Maja Ostaszewska, Behi Djanati Atai
In the swampy forests along the Belarus-Poland border, refugees from the Middle East and Africa are lured by false promises of safe passage into Europe, only to become trapped in a brutal geopolitical standoff. Shot in stark black-and-white, Green Border presents the migrant crisis via multiple angles: a Syrian family fleeing ISIS, the border guards tasked with enforcing cruel policies, and the activists who risk everything to help the migrants. Legendary and prolific Polish director Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa) returns with this raw, compassionate call to conscience and winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2023 Venice Film Festival.
