Flee (Danish: Flugt) is a 2021 Danish animated docudrama film directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen. It follows the story of a man under the alias Amin Nawabi, who shares his hidden past of fleeing his country for the first time. Riz Ahmed and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau serve as executive producers.

The film had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival on January 28, 2021. It was released in theaters in the United States on December 3, 2021, by Neon and Participant.

Flee received unanimous acclaim from film festivals and critics, with critical praise for animation, story, thematic content, subject matter, and LGBT representation. The film also incorporates archival film footage of events in Afghanistan from the time Amin fled. Various critics found to be the most frequently ranked as one of the best films of the year, and garnered numerous awards, mainly for animated and documentary categories including Best Animated Feature — Independent at 49th Annie Awards.

The film was selected as the Danish entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, where it received a nomination, along with nominations in the Best Documentary Feature and Best Animated Feature categories, becoming the first film to be nominated in all three major categories simultaneously.

This was slow in the middle but the beginning and end were interesting. Was surprised how much of the film focused on his lgbt identity in addition to his refugee status. Beautiful animation and very unique production, even if it wasn't exactly my cup of tea subject wise.
