Flee

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!
