Since 2022, I’ve filmed the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, where thousands of migrants cross one of the last primeval forests in Europe to seek asylum in the E.U. Until now, my work has focused on Polish aid volunteers.



Beginning in 2021, Belarus, a Russia-propped dictatorship, artificially created new migration paths—which some describe as state-operated human trafficking—as part of its hybrid attack against the E.U. Since then, thousands of migrants—mostly from Africa and the Middle East—have crossed Białowieża, one of the last primeval forests in Europe, to seek asylum in the E.U. The forest is a natural border, but in response to the migration crisis, which sees over 100 crossings per day, the E.U. countries that border Belarus erected a wall.
