Abstract

Flee (Jonas Poher Rasmussen, 2021) is an animated documentary that presents the story of Amin, an Afghan refugee who is forced to leave his country when the Taliban regime comes to power. The aim of this article is to carry out a textual analysis of the film that studies its original use of different types of animation to represent subjective memories. Then, it theorises the relationship between animations with traumatic content and a generation of the dialectical image proposed by Walter Benjamin. Finally, the use of archival material and how it maintains a dialogical relationship with the aforementioned traumatised images is discussed.
