#flugt documentary

Flee (Flugt, dir. Jonas Poher Rasmussen) x VIFF 2021.

From Kabul to Copenhagen, the animated documentary tells a powerful refugee journey of unbelievable struggle. We follow Amin’s anonymized past escaping wartorn Afghanistan for post-Soviet Russia before trying to find refuge in Sweden and eventually settling in Denmark. Layered through a repressed queer identity and fractured family relationships bonded by separation, it’s a remarkably made film in its moving personification of the global immigration crisis.
