Academy Award nominee Agnieszka Holland follows the harrowing ordeal of a refugee family trapped on the margins of the E.U. in “Green Border,” a gripping drama from the prolific Polish director tha…
The film is set in the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so-called “green border” between Belarus and Poland and focuses on the humanitarian catastrophe that unfolded when Belarus’ president, Alexander Lukashenko, opened the country’s doors to migrants in a cynical political gambit to flood the E.U. with refugees.
The screenplay — written by Holland, Gabriela Łazarkiewicz-Sieczko and Maciej Pisuk — is inspired by real events and based on hundreds of hours of research, including interviews with refugees, border guards, borderland residents, activists and experts on migration. The film is a co-production between Poland, France, Belgium and the Czech Republic.
One of world cinema’s great moral consciences, Holland has returned time and again throughout her career to what she describes as “the great and tragic subjects of the 20th century” in films including the Holocaust survival drama “In Darkness” — Oscar-nominated for best foreign language film in 2011 — and “Mr. Jones,” a biopic of the young Welsh journalist who blew the first public whistle on the man-made famine of 1932-33 in Soviet Ukraine.
