Premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival on January 28, 2021 where it won the Grand Jury Prize in the World Cinema Documentary section, Flee tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for twenty 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, Amin tells for the first time the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan.
