'Good News'

Sometimes good news can bring hope for survival. Białowieża, winter 2021. Activists set out to help migrants lost in the border forest. A cup of hot tea, a warm sleeping bag and a powerbank – it doesn't take much to save someone's life. Sometimes good news can bring hope for survival. But in a borderline situation, when the struggle is against time, is there any room for good news? 

'The Wall'
Polish actor Kasia Smutniak undertakes a risky journey from Italy to the heart of darkness, accompanying activists rescuing migrants in a restricted zone on the Polish-Belarusian border.
