Agnieszka Holland’s migrant crisis drama Green Border with English subtitles will be presented on Tuesday, October 10th at Kino Pod Baranami.

Director’s statement:
We live in a world where it takes great imagination and courage to face all the challenges of modern times. The social media revolution and artificial intelligence have made it increasingly difficult for genuine voices to be heard. In my opinion, there is no point in engaging in art if one doesn’t fight for that voice, if one doesn’t fight to ask questions about important, painful, sometimes unsolvable issues that put us before dramatic choices. This is exactly the situation that’s happening on the Polish-Belarusian border.
Special screening with English subtitles, without Polish subtitles.
TICKETS:
26 PLN (regular)

ABOUT THE MOVIE
GREEN BORDER | ZIELONA GRANICA
(Agnieszka Holland) PL 2023, 152’
(in Polish, Arabic, English and French with EN subtitles, no PL subtitles)
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.
