In an unusual but appropriate twist, FLEE has been considered for an Oscar in three categories: animation, documentary, and international feature. FLEE triumphs on these tripartite bases as not only an innovative work of animation but also a document of the life of a refugee.

FLEE (TIFF2021) – Review by Leslie Combemale

September 16, 2021September 19, 2021 Leslie Combemale Amin Nawabi, animation, documentary, Flee, Jonas Power Rasmussen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Riz ahmed, TIFF

Danish writer/director Jonas Power Rasmussen’s documentary Flee about Afghan refugee Amin, his arduous journey getting to Denmark, and how that experience colors his current life, is destined to become a shining example of great indie animation. It may be painful to watch Amin go through the horrors he describes, but it is also an incredibly uplifting, inspiring story that will leave its viewers with a powerful feeling of hope.
