FLEE

Flee uses animation to tell the story of Amin Nawabi (a pseudonym), who fled Afghanistan as a boy, relying on human smugglers to reach Denmark. Filmmaker Jonas Poher Rasmussen met Nawabi when they were both in high school. Now in his thirties, Nawabi shares stories about his life’s journey that he’s long kept secret from even his closest friends. He describes the conditions that forced his family to escape and how he came of age as a gay man in northern Europe.
