An unflinching and award-winning depiction of the migrant crisis captured in stark black-and-white, this riveting film explores the intractable issue from multiple perspectives: a Syrian family fleeing ISIS caught between cruel border guards in both countries; young guards instructed to brutalize and reject the migrants; and activists who aid the refugees at great personal risk.
30 years after Europa Europa, three-time Oscar Nominee Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border opens our eyes and challenges us to reflect on the moral choices many are forced to make.
