The residents of Podlasie are watching the Polish-Belarusian border crisis from the windows of their own homes. Recent months have changed everything in their lives. The forest, which for years had been their breathing place, has now become a source of anxiety and trauma. Almost every day, in the surrounding forest, the residents of Podlasie come across groups of migrants who have become hostages to a brutal political game. They get out of their way to provide them with water, food and warm clothes. They also offer shelter in so-called safe houses, where they want to provide them with a little normality and warmth.
