GOOD NEWS
POLISH TITLE: DOBRA WIADOMOŚĆ
A shocking testimony to the events which occurred on the Polish-Belarusian border in 2021. Under the guise of a ‘forest trip’ activists venture into the Białowieża Primeval Forest to deliver necessary items to the refugees from the Middle East and Africa hiding there. As a result of a state of emergency announced in the border zone, it is harder to reach migrants trapped in the forest. The area is searched by border guards and the weather poses an additional threat to the people’s life and health as temperatures may fall below zero at night. The struggle against time begins.
