Green Border
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.
After moving to the Suwałki region, psychologist Julia becomes an involuntary witness and participant of dramatic events on the Polish-Belarusian border. She decides to give up her comfortable life and joins a group of activists who provide aid to refugees. At the same time, a Syrian family fleeing the civil war and their companion, a teacher from Afghanistan, are tricked by the Belarusians and forcibly taken to a refugee camp near the Polish border. In an attempt to escape, they embark on a desperate journey through unknown and hostile territory. In Poland, their fate intersects with that of Julia and the young border guard Jan. The events that befall them will change their lives forever, not only for them, but also for the other migrants and activists involved in their story.
