Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Rolling off a successful collaboration on “Charlatan,” Films Boutique has boarded Agnieszka Holland’s next film “The Green Border,” which just completed principal photography in Poland. Now in post production, “The Green Border” tells the fateful story of a family of Syrian refugees, a solitary English teacher from Afghanistan and a young border guard, all of whom meet on the Polish-Belarusian border during the most recent humanitarian crisis triggered by President Lukaschenko opening doors to migrants in Belarus as a back door to enter the EU. The screenplay, penned by Holland, Gabriela Łazarkiewicz-Sieczko and Maciej Pisuk, is inspired by real events. Research for the film included hundreds of hours of document analysis, interviews with refugees, border guards, borderland residents, activists and experts.
Visit climate cafes and complete green challenges to keep eco anxiety at bay

“Oh well, the world could end tomorrow…” For some, the prospect of 'environmental doom' is an excuse to pop open another bottle on a school night. But for others, it causes a downward spiral of stress with debilitating depression, anxiety and a feeling of dread affecting every area of their lives. If you’re way past the point of feeling guilty every time you forget to use your Bag For Life, you too could be suffering from Eco Anxiety, a genuine mental health issue that’s on the rise.
Around 75% of the UK population feels worried about the impact of climate change, with more women than men stressing about environmental issues. Younger people appear to feel it deeper, with up to one in six reporting an anxiety condition because of ecological issues. Emma Oldham, 33, from Newark, began experiencing it for herself in her teen years.
“It started when I heard about the hole in the ozone layer,” she says. “The worry triggered severe anxiety and depression, and while my friends were stressed about boyfriends and make-up, I was so overwhelmed about ecological issues I’d cry in bed for days, refusing to eat or wash. It took over my life.
My school work meant nothing to me. What was the point of exams if the world was ending?” Emma’s parents tried to reason with her and took her to see a GP, who prescribed anti-depressants. It was a short term solution.
“When I went to uni it got worse. I was thinking about ecological issues 24/7,” Emma says. Her feelings of depression and hopelessness were triggered again when she became a mum and worried about how the world would be for future generations.
