'Flee' trailer: Riz Ahmed, Nikolaj Coster-Walsau come together to narrate a story of an Afghan refugee in Denmark

Actors Riz Ahmed and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau join hands to present animated Danish documentary 'Flee'. Directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2021.

Ahmed and Coster-Waldau have also lent their voices to the English version of the film. They also serve as executive producers of the documentary.
The film chronicles the true story of Amin Nawabi (a pseudonym) journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan.

"Amin arrived as an unaccompanied minor in Denmark from Afghanistan. Today, he is a successful academic and is getting married to his long-time boyfriend. A secret he has been hiding for 20 years threatens to ruin the life he has built," says the official synopsis of the film.

The trailer shows Amin engaging in a conversation with Rasmussen about his early life in Afghanistan and how he had to flee during the Soviet invasion.
In an interview with IndieWire, Rasmussen revealed that he had spoken to his friend about sharing his story much before he conceptualised the film 'Flee'. When Amin finally agreed, the filmmaker decided to make an animated film.
