Flee
FLEE tells the extraordinary true story of a man, Amin, on the verge of marriage which compels him to reveal his hidden past for the first time.
Grand Jury Prize winner at this year’s Sundance Festival, FLEE tells a poignant story of belonging and the search for identity. Amin’s life has been defined by his past and a secret he’s kept for over 20 years. Forced to leave his home country of Afghanistan as a young child with his mother and siblings, Amin now grapples with how his past will affect his future in Denmark and the life he is building with his soon-to-be husband.
Told brilliantly through the use of animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his life, opening up for the first time about his past, his trauma, the truth about his family, and his acceptance of his own sexuality.
We are in partnership with Streatham Drop In Centre for Asylum Seekers and Refugees for this screening. Refreshments for sale and donations welcome all proceeds to the Centre.
Several buses stop opposite the centre which is next to the English Martyrs Church.
