LECTURE: The border as a tool and mechanism of exclusion

Back to - Toruń

The lecture 'The border as a tool and mechanism of exclusion' will follow the screening of the film 'Granica'.

More about film:

Based on true events, a moving story of an encounter in a frontier forest. Is it worth sacrificing life's stability to preserve humanity? Where is the line of commitment?

Thanks to the reports of activists and videos recorded in secret in the closed zone, we all know what is happening in the forests on the Polish-Belarusian border. Based on true events, "Granica" tells the story of Oliwia, who lives with her family in the Bialowieza Forest. When refugees tracked by the police begin to appear under the windows of her house, the woman will have to answer the most important questions. Is it worth sacrificing life's stability to preserve humanity? Where is the line of commitment?
