The campaign against the film is not restricted to the far-right Polish ruling party. Tomasz Siemoniak, defence minister under Donald Tusk (Civic Platform, PO) until 2015, also mocked the film in a TV interview, comparing its veracity to Star Wars.
Agnieszka Holland's refugee drama »Green Border« was celebrated in Venice. Poland's Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, on the other hand, compared the film to Nazi propaganda works. Holland gave the politician from the PiS right-wing splinter Solidarna Polska seven days to apologize. She also demanded that he make a donation of 50,000 zlotys to the "Children of the Holocaust" association. In Holland's film, the audience follows the fate of a family from Syria who wants to flee to the EU via Belarus.
