Border Conversations is set in November 2021 as thousands of migrants are trying to enter the EU via Poland‘s border with Belarus. Urgent calls for help reach the two polish activists, Kornelia and Karolina, daily via text message. They set out, but their missions don‘t go as planned. The film examines what it means to be confronted with the limits of humanitarian aid and how the personal life situation can influence the way one deals with it.AWARDS
