Overview

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 trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deliberately paced, humanistic chronicle of displacement and political weaponization that refuses easy answers. The film situates its characters, activist, guard, and refugee family, at the collision point of geopolitical violence, asking how ordinary people survive when they're caught between indifference and cruelty.
