Premiering on Monday, September 18, Superpower is the unexpected documentary that came out of what started as a light piece and turned into a right-place-wrong-time moment in history. Originally, actor Sean Penn went to Ukraine to do an amusing film in which he learned more about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who started out as a comedic actor before turning to politics. He arrived at the Presidential Palace as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. In an undisclosed bunker, Penn talked to President Zelenskyy as explosions blasted the city, bearing first-hand witness to the early days of the war. The documentary mixes on-the-ground storytelling with moments of inspiration and levity as it shows that Ukraine’s leader, its people, and its heart make up its real Superpower. Read on for more on how to watch Superpower.
