The film Flee opens with a question: "What does the word 'home' mean to you?"

Amin Nawabi's childhood home was Kabul, Afghanistan. It was a busy and dynamic city where he could be "a little different."

In the opening scenes of the film, you see an animated version of the young Nawabi, unafraid of wearing his sister's dress while carelessly running through the streets, blasting music through headphones.

This picture of a charming childhood changed when the mujahideen took over Afghanistan, forcing Nawabi to run.
