This Month's Feature Film: Flee
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.
After the film, attendees will have an opportunity to discuss the film with others to respond to the following questions:
What? So What? Now What?
1. What did you learn and discover? What insights did this film provide?
2. Why is this topic and information important for our community now?
3. How am I going to take what I learned and make a positive difference within my spheres of influence now?
