- Quotes
Amin (9-11 years old): We have no idea what's going to happen. to us. Nobody tells us anything. The journalists come and film us. We hope something will happen, but no. They go home to make TV programmes... But nothing really happens. It's just us and the guards.
- Crazy creditsThe beginning of the credits features the animation seen twice before of outline figures running through the streets. Then, a dedication, "Thanks to Amin, his family and all the participants," followed by a message, "From Amin: 'My heartfelt thanks go to my siblings who have sacrificed a lot in various ways so I could be where I am today. KR you mean the world to me. Lastly, I thank the love of my life who put up with four years of turbulence and for putting his dreams aside so I could pursue mine.'"

Featured review
Left Me Speechless
At this point it's going to be so hard to top Flee. It 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. Rather than a typical documentary style, it goes for an animated approach in the for of mockumentary. Never does it feel like a documentary which is extraordinary. The animation is simplistic yet looks so dynamic. It also blends archive footage to remind us the realness of it all. The story is tragic and amazing. We're told of Amin's experience fleeing country to country in hopes for a better life. It's a thrilling ride from start to finish. I'm not sure how anyone couldn't like it. This is the best of the festival and one of the best of the year!
