About

In early 2021, Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko sought to provoke Europe and retaliate for sanctions by luring refugees to the Belarus/Polish border by falsely promising them easy passage into the EU. Ruthlessly turned back by the Polish border guards, the refugees became pawns in a brutal geopolitical and humanitarian crisis and struggled to survive in freezing conditions. Agnieszka Holland's visceral drama about Europe's migrant crisis garnered 30 awards worldwide and could hardly be more topical, with the dehumanisation of refugees a key feature in anti-migrant rhetoric.
