Based on the true story of a child refugee’s journey from Afghanistan to Denmark, Flee is described as ‘a masterful blend of animation and documentary, which is moving, momentous, heart-breaking and tragic’. It looks into the lives of refugees and the extreme lengths they go to for safety, and tells the story of one man’s escape from a warzone as his past finally catches up with him and threatens to ruin his life. Since its premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, Flee has been nominated for multiple awards including the Oscars, BAFTAs and a Golden Globe.
