Puolalaisen veteraaniohjaaja Agnieszka Hollandin mestariteos Green Border on riipaisevan humaani, ihmiset ihmisinä näkevä kuvaus pakolaisten ahdingosta Puolan ja Valko-Venäjän rajalla. Hollandin elokuva on paitsi henkeäsalpaava draama, myös äärimmäisen tärkeä puheenvuoro sivistyksen puolesta ja käytettyjen sanojen merkityksestä aikana, jona pakolaisten ihmisyyttä häivytetään. Pahimman vaihtoehdon toteutuessa samankaltainen tilanne voidaan nähdä myös Suomen rajaseudulla, minkä vuoksi elokuva on pakollista nähtävää täkäläiseen keskusteluun osallistuville.
