– Yesterday marked the premiere of Agnieszka Holland's film, Green Border. I have been searching for a suitable word to describe this work for a long time, and I believe the best word to capture this film is a disgusting libel. This film depicts, in an extremely unfair, unwarranted, and damaging way, Border Guard officers, the entire formation, such a professional formation as the Border Guard, and soldiers. All those who defend the Polish border at the risk of their own health and lives. This film slanders the good name of Polish officers, policemen, and soldiers. In many aspects, this film is a damaging depiction for the institutions of the Polish state, for the Polish state, and for Poles – said Błażej Poboży during a press conference.


– Since this film contains so many falsehoods and misrepresentations, presenting a false, untrue, and unfair image of all the officers I have mentioned, the formations, Poles, the Polish state, and the institutions of the Polish state, we, as the leadership of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, have decided that this disgusting libel will be preceded by a specially prepared spot in art house cinemas across Poland, which will highlight the elements that were missing from the film – added the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.
