Flee is the first movie in history to be Oscar nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Documentary Feature, and Best International Feature Film.

Told through a mix of animation and archival footage in order to protect the anonymity of the protagonist, Flee (based on a true story) follows Amin, an Afghan refugee who recounts how he escaped his native country as a teen, his years-long perilous journey through multiple countries, and his constant pursuit of a place in which he could freely explore his identity and feel a sense of belonging. Now on the verge of marriage, planning to marry a man he met in his new homeland, Denmark, Amin begins to look back over his life, opening up about his past, his trauma, the truth about his family, and his own sexuality, which threatens to ruin the life he has built for himself outside of Afghanistan.

This remarkable film won the Grand Jury Prize for World Documentary at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
