A timely drama from Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland tops the DVD releases for the week of Aug. 20.

"Green Border": Centers on a Syrian refugee family fleeing ISIS as they attempt to enter Poland from Belarus so they can continue on to Sweden.

"The great and sobering impact of what Holland, now 75, has accomplished here is in the clarity and specificity of the storytelling — even with a handful of moral 'gotcha!' moments 'Green Border' could do without," writes Chicago Tribune critic Michael Phillips in his review. "Much of the film plays out along a thin razor-wire line in a forest separating Belarus from Poland. What happens there is happening elsewhere, today."
