WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s right-wing leaders are denouncing a new feature film by Polish director Agnieszka Holland as it opens in the country. “Green Border” is a harrowing exploration of human suffering in the border zone between Belarus and Poland. Its fictional characters include Polish security officials who mistreat migrants. The film won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and premieres in Poland on Friday. The head of Poland’s ruling party called a news conference to condemn “Green Border.” He called the film “simply shameful, repulsive and disgusting.” The director says her movie doesn’t make a collective assessment of Poland’s uniformed services.
