Green Border

Green Border (Zielona granica) is a feature film by Agnieszka Holland from 2023. The multi-perspective drama focuses on the refugee crisis on the border between Belarus and Poland.

Lured by the promises of Belarusian dictator Lukashenka, Bashir and Amina and their Syrian family booked a flight to Minsk, intending to cross the green border into Poland from there. But the promise turns into a trap. Together with thousands of others, the family is stuck in the swampy no-man's-land, pushed back and forth by border guards from both sides.

The screening will be followd by a discussion on questions of the European border regime.

The event will be held in English.
