Green Border, dir. A. Holland

In the murky and perilous forests of the "green border" dividing Belarus and Poland, a calculated and dangerous game unfolds. Refugees from the Middle East and Africa, desperate to reach the safety of the European Union, find themselves ensnared in a sinister geopolitical scheme orchestrated by Belarusian autocrat Alexander Lukashenko.

The refugees are unwitting pawns in Lukashenko's brazen attempt to incite Europe. Deceived by false promises of easy passage, they are drawn to the border through relentless propaganda. Among them are Julia, a passionate new activist who has abandoned her comfortable life for the cause, and Jan, a young border guard navigating a moral labyrinth. Their fates become entwined with that of a Syrian family, each caught in the web of this manufactured crisis.

Against the backdrop of an era defined by shifting political landscapes, GREEN BORDER, the stirring new filmby three-time Oscar Nominee Agnieszka Holland, thrusts us into a world where idealism collides with harsh realities.

This poignant narrative doesn't merely unfold - it challenges us to confront the ethical dilemmas faced by ordinary individuals in extraordinary times, reminding us of the human stories obscured by the grand designs of power and politics.

Trigger warnings: disturbing images, abuse, violence, discriminatory language, discrimantion.

Rating: 15 (suitable only for persons of 15 years or over).
