This story of one Afghan man’s journey to escape persecution is brought to life through animation, making for an utterly singular documentary-watching experience. This beautiful personal story, told with care and remarkable artistry, was awarded the World Cinema Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Visceral and poetic, the film takes the viewer inside a death-defying journey dictated by deception, loneliness, and a relentless will to survive.
Flee is a film unbound by documentary constraints, swept up in an astonishing array of archive footage, ’80s pop music, and hand-drawn craft that brings audiences directly into the experience of a teen fleeing multiple countries — and the psychological impact on how he loves, trusts, and understands his burgeoning identity. Director Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s film is a triumph of storytelling and filmmaking ingenuity, but its greatest asset is the empathy and trust Rasmussen forms with the film’s protagonist, whose clarity and vulnerability grant us access to a unique refugee tale.
