Synopsis
Marrying striking animation and archival footage to breathtaking effect, Flee retraces one man’s harrowing experiences escaping life under Taliban rule. Amin Nawabi, a 36-year-old academic, recounts his childhood flight from Kabul in the mid-1990s, which took him first to Russia and then onto Denmark in search of a new country to call home. As he reflects on his traumatic past, Amin grapples with a painful secret in the present that threatens to derail the life he’s built for himself and his soon-to-be-husband. Winner of the World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, Flee is visually dazzling, profoundly moving, and, at a moment when the resurgent Taliban once again controls Afghanistan, shockingly relevant.
