Flee is a 2021 animated documentary by Jonas Poher Rasmussen, following Amin Nawabi (pseudonym) as he confronts a painful past he has kept hidden. Through intimate interviews, memory-based animation, and archival footage, the film traces Amin’s escape from Afghanistan, his perilous journey to Denmark, and the weight of family secrets, love, and identity he carries. A deeply personal, formally inventive meditation on memory, migration, and belonging.
