Bold, imaginative and vital, this Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated animated documentary is co-written by the film’s subject, “Amin” (whose real name still has to be kept under wraps for his safety), as he recounts his story about fleeing Afghanistan in 1989. Interspersed with engrossing live-action archive TV footage, the documentary is co-produced by UK-based Left Handed Films.
