There Are People in the Forest
W lesie są ludzie

A lonely man limps down the road. A truck drives up to him. Several armed men jumped out of it. They capture the limping man and transport him to the forest. The only witnesses of the scene are people from a nearby village. Since 2021, situations like these are commonplace on the Polish-Belarussian border of the EU, which is the scene of an ongoing refugee crisis. An animated documentary whose creator happens to live in a town by the border.
