The treacherous woods between Belarus and Poland are referred to as the ‘green border’. Refugees end up in these woods as they are on their way to reach Europe and become pawns in a political game. In Green Border the lives of activist Julia, border guard Jan and a Syrian family intertwine.

Belarus tries to undermine the European Union (EU) by stimulating this border crossing. However, Poland refuses the refugees and as a result these refugees end up in this cold, swampy no man’s land, without food or medical attention.
