Flee (2021)
Shown as part of the Beyond Borders: Stories of Immigration and Migration Join the Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (CGLLC), International Student Services (ISS), and the Coalition for Immigrant Student Advancement (CISA) for a film festival focused on the experiences of immigrants across political, national, and identity borders. Each film invites attendees to reflect on powerful stories, timely explorations for this political moment. NY Times Critic's Pick "As much as Flee is a refugee’s tale of flight and eventual settling, it’s also a coming-out story, and as such a complex reflection on different forms of outsiderhood.To be an immigrant in Denmark and a gay man in Afghanistan are hardly equivalent, but the nuances of both experiences yield some touching, surprising and funny moments." — New York Times Recounted mostly through animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his past as a child refugee from Afghanistan as he grapples with a secret he’s kept hidden for 20 years. Beyond Borders: Stories of Immigration and Migration is sponsored by the Williams College Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; International Student Services; Coalition for Immigrant Student Advancement; the Davis Center; the Department of Romance Languages; Fellowships; and Global Education and Study AwayDocumentaryPT1H29MPG-132025-05-01Amin Nawabi
