In association with Reading Refugee Centre our presentation for Refugee Week is a highly original Oscar and BAFTA-nominated animated documentary from Danish writer/director Jonas Poher Rasmussen.
It tells the true story about a man's need to confront his past in order to truly have a future. Amin arrived as an unaccompanied minor in Denmark from Afghanistan. Today, at 36, he is a successful academic and is getting married to his long-term partner. A secret he has been hiding for over 20 years threatens to ruin the life he has built for himself. For the first time, he is sharing his story with his close friend.
