'Superpower' documents Ukraine's war. It premieres on Paramount+ on Monday, Sept. 18.
Two-time Academy Award winner Sean Penn was with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy when Russia invaded Ukraine — as he filmed a documentary that was intended to be about a comedy superstar-turned-president but ended up being about an existential threat to democracy.
"I met him the day before and .. when he entered the room on the day of invasion, to our cameras, ... it felt like he was born for this .. and it was a seamless rise," Penn told"CBS Mornings" on Wednesday."It was a different person, cellularly, than the one I had met the day before. And he had — and has — as the Ukrainian people do, just complete resolve."
The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of filming, and their first in-person meeting didn't take place until Feb. 23 last year, the day before the full-scale assault. They agreed that afternoon to start filming on Feb. 24 — a commitment Zelenskyy kept despite the unfolding crisis.
