'FLEE' WINS BEST FEATURE AWARD AT IDA DOCUMENTARY AWARDS by Maria Kristensen

We are very proud to announce that ‘Flee’ directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen and produced by Monica Hellström, Signe Byrge Sørensen, and Charlotte De La Gournerie has won the award for Best Feature at IDA (International Documentary Association) Documentary Awards!

‘Flee’ tells the extraordinary true story of Amin who, on the verge of marriage, is compelled to uncover his past for the first time – one that he has kept secret for over twenty years and which has continuously threatened the life he has built for himself since making the journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan to Denmark. Told mostly through animation, ‘Flee’ weaves together a stunning tapestry of images and memories which tell the affecting story of a young man grappling with his traumatic past in order to discover his true self and the meaning of home.

The IDA Documentary Awards is the world's most prestigious event dedicated to the documentary genre, celebrating the best nonfiction films and programs of the year. It seeks to represent excellence in the documentary field from around the world, by emerging and established documentarians. The 2021 Awards was presented at a virtual ceremony on Friday, March 4, 2022.
