Green Border Reviews
Illegal aliens need to stay in their own country. If it is not to their liking then they need to work with others like themselves to reform it and not just run to another country.
Yes there is certainly a lot of bad faith criticism directed at this movie but it does still narratively stack the deck in favor of it's viewpoint. This I think could have been avoided by narrowing the focus of the narrative. The film's early scenes work well for this reason as they effectively show the horror of human beings being used as pawns in larger political schemes.
I felt like I was there during the escape, my empathy was touched. It's terrible to see how people can be treated. But I have to ask myself if some scenes are underplayed or exaggerated. The drama shows the suffering and stress of the refugees and the struggle of the institutions around them. Ultimately, it applies a moral compass to a very sensitive international issue and raises the question of whether there should be a different approach of dealing with it.
Thank you for making this film and telling the story of the Green Border. So important to understand what happens when walls are built and people are dehumanized.
‘Illegal’ immigrant being the key word here…
A heart-breaking movie about refugees. An excellent movie but not "fun" to watch.
It hurts, and reminds you the human feelings. Extremely touching
Great movie about a difficult subject with many scenes based on interviews with those who experienced crossing the border into Poland. I was lucky enough to see this movie with an Q&A from the legendary director.
