Controversial Polish Film 'The Green Border' Sparks Government Warning and Backlash

The Polish government has mandated that theaters in Poland must show a government-approved warning video before screenings of "The Green Border," a film by acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won a special jury prize, depicts the plight of refugees stranded on the border between Poland and Belarus. The government has faced backlash for comparing the film to Nazi propaganda and has been accused of twisting the meaning of words. Despite the government's attacks, the film has received support from the international film community.
