New Animated Documentary 'Flee'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 1, 2021

In a new documentary, director Jonas Poher Rasmussen interviews his friend, identified by the pseudonym Amin Nawabi, who opens up about his past for the first time, which includes his journey as a child refugee fleeing Afghanistan. "Flee" employs visually stunning, and gripping, animation to tell Amin's story and bring his 20-year tale of survival to life, as well as the impact of his keeping it secret. Rasmussen joins us to discuss the documentary ahead of its premiere in theaters on December 3.
