“Flee” director Jonas Poher Rasmussen joins Variety’s Peter Debruge in the Variety Streaming Room presented by NEON for an exclusive screening and Q&A on January 25 to discuss the groundbreaking documentary.
Sundance Grand Jury prize winner “Flee” tells the story of Amin, whose life has been defined by his past and a secret he’s kept for over 20 years. Forced to leave his home country of Afghanistan as a young child with his mother and siblings, Amin now grapples with how his past will affect his future in Denmark and the life he is building with his soon-to-be husband.
Told brilliantly through the use of animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his life, opening up for the first time about his past, his trauma, the truth about his family, and his acceptance of his own sexuality.
