FLEE is an animated documentary that tells the extraordinary true story of a man’s need to confront his past in order to truly have a future. 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. Rated 98% by Rotten Tomatoes. Subtitles.

“A powerfully humane and urgently told film about immigrants, refugees and the desire not just to survive, but indeed, to thrive.” – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service

“An intimate portrait of the lasting traumas of displacement and one of the most humane films of the year.” – Jen Yamato, Los Angeles Times

“The year’s most inventive animated adventure mixes graphic design with documentary realism and puts hallucinatory brilliance at the service of understanding the continuing psychic damage of war. You’ll never forget it.” – Peter Travers, ABC News

“Depicting the refugee experience through vivid animation, Flee pushes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking to present a moving memoir of self-discovery.” – Rotten Tomatoes
