This is confirmed by the opinions of critics who saw the film in Venice and at press screenings. Reviewers emphasize that “The Green Border” criticizes a heartless system and is a universal film. Maciej Stuhr, who played an episodic role in the film, notes that Agnieszka Holland presented several different perspectives in the film. The actor notes that if the director had actually focused on a negative image of the guards, “there would have been nothing to collect.”
Protest against the “Green Border” in Krakow
Interviews with the creators, subsequent reviews and articles aimed at explaining the right-wing campaign appear in contrast to the statements of Polish politicians and calls to boycott the film from, for example, the Nadwiślański Border Guard Unit. The protest against the “Green Border” was organized by the All-Polish Youth.
Kino pod Baranami in Krakow recently announced that tickets for the pre-premiere screening of “The Green Border” sold out very quickly. The All-Polish Youth did not like this and announced a protest for Thursday, September 21.

“This Thursday, the Pod Baranami Cinema will host the premiere of the film “The Green Border” directed by Agnieszka Holland, the same one who became famous for her outstanding oikophobia and scandalous distortion of the history and image of Poland,” we read in the announcement of the demonstration. “The film ‘The Green Border’ deliberately distorts the truth about the service of the Border Guard and the Polish Army on the eastern border. Its narrative fits into Kremlin propaganda,” the organization adds.
So far, interest in the event is rather low. Forty users of the website declared their participation in the picket on Facebook. In the description of the event we can read, among other things, that “Holland stands shoulder to shoulder with Lukashenko and Putin in slandering Poland and those who defend our country.” It is worth recalling that the people responsible for the event most likely did not have the opportunity to see the production.
