People on the Move | Ludzie w Drodze

People on the Move documents the dire humanitarian crisis of non-white refugees stranded on the Poland-Belarus border and explores the local activist interventions to address the situation. The film aims to draw international attention and spark the political will to redress this crisis, which is both acute and chronic, and requires urgent and strategic intervention.

The film further amplifies the work of local activists engaged in developing varied interventions from the very outset of this humanitarian crisis.
