FLEE
O.V in Danish, Dari, English and Russian subtitled in Spanish and English
Awarded Best Film at Annecy (leading animation festival in the world) and Best Documentary at Sundance, this film brilliantly employs all the resources that animation offers with a dual purpose: to protect Amin, an Afghan refugee who gives his testimony (which may still be dangerous for him), and also to capture in images the emotional story he has gone through. In this way, we follow him in the difficult reconstruction of the buried memories of his escape mediated by unscrupulous human traffickers, fleeing from a country where his sexual orientation is not even recognised.
