About
Flee tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon-to-be husband. Recounted mostly through animation to director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, he tells, for the first time, the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan.
(Jonas Poher Rasmussen, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, US, Spain, Italy & United Kingdom, 2021, 89 min, in Danish, English, Dari, Russian & Swedish with English subtitles)

“…a mesmerizing story of loss, dislocation and, yes, tragedy, but also self-invention. At a time when news stories about refugees and migration threaten to become numbingly anonymous, Flee restores the fine detail and human contours that make each version unique, individual and vital.” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
