Flee

AnimationDocumentaryDramaThriller90 min

Recounted largely through animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back on fleeing Afghanistan as a child while grappling with a secret he’s kept hidden for 20 years. Speaking with director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, the man known as Amin Nawabi retraces the path that brought him to Denmark and the strain of building a life while keeping his past — and parts of himself — concealed. Daniel Karimyar and Fardin Mijdzadeh are among the voices carrying Amin’s memories, as the film moves between intimate conversation, fractured recollection, and the instability of exile.
