In the treacherous, swampy forests that form the so-called 'green border' between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa, striving to reach the European Union, find themselves trapped in a cynical geopolitical crisis engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. As part of his provocation against Europe, refugees are lured to the border with propaganda promising easy passage into the EU. In this covert war, the lives of Julia, a newly graduated activist who has left behind her comfortable life; Jan, a young border guard; and a Syrian family become intertwined.

Thirty years after Europa Europa, three-time Oscar-nominated director Agnieszka Holland returns with Green Border, a poignant new feature film that opens our eyes, touches our hearts, and invites us to reflect on the moral choices ordinary people face every day.

In the director’s own words: 'We live in a world that demands great imagination and courage to confront the challenges of modern times. The social media revolution and artificial intelligence have made it increasingly difficult for real voices to be heard. To me, if one doesn’t fight for that voice, if one doesn’t fight to raise questions about the important, painful, and sometimes unsolvable issues that force us into dramatic decisions, then there is no point in pursuing art. The situation at the Polish-Belarusian border exemplifies this perfectly.'
