Over the years, films have been used to inform, entertain, educate and provoke debate. It is in this spirit that IOM launched The Global Migration Film Festival (GMFF) in 2016.

The Global Migration Film Festival (GMFF) features films and documentaries that capture the promise and challenges of migration, and the unique contributions that migrants make to their new communities. The goal of the festival is to pave the way for greater discussion around one of the greatest phenomenon of our time.

We are very happy to announce the movie for the 7th edition of the Global Migration Film Fest: Flee, by Jonas Poher Rasmussen. Recounted mostly through animation, Amin opens up about his past for the first time of his journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan. He begins to look back over his life as he grapples with a painful secret he has keep hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon to be husband.
