Stunning Oscar-nominated movie 'Flee' narrates the harrowing tale of an Afghan gay refugee
gcn.ieFlee is the Oscar-nominated film about Amin and his journey from one city, Kabul, to another, Copenhagen. It is 1996 and, as the Taliban forces their way into the capital and takes control, people start to leave.
Amin’s family is one of them, but it seems only to be the start of his journey of terror.Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s documentary is an animated feature interspersed with real footage of Afghani refugees and victims.
There is blood, fire, and dead bodies. But most horrifically is the footage of a man dying, fleeing as he helplessly holds a bleeding wound; it is something I can’t unsee and neither, I assume, can the protagonist of this fantastic film.
