Introduction
How did former actor and comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, become the President of Ukraine? Filmmakers Sean Penn and Aaron Kaufman first set out to answer that question.
Penn initially wanted to know whether President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was truly an altruistic leader or just a really great actor, but he ended up covering a much bigger story.
The day after Penn's first interview with President Zelenskyy, Russia invaded Ukraine.
2023 documentary Superpower chronicles the first few months following Russia's invasion, and Penn's campaign to increase understanding of the conflict in America.
Under President Zelenskyy's leadership, Ukraine defied the odds by holding Russia back and defending the freedom of their country.
