Sean Penn brought his star power this weekend to Berlin’s 73rd International Film Festival with one singular purpose: To put a spotlight on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the Ukrainian war with Russia heads into his second year.
On Thursday, the Berlinale’s opening night, Penn made an appearance with Zelenskyy who spoke via a remote hook-up. Friday was the documentary’s world premiere, with Saturday a press conference with co-director Aaron Kaufman and a trio of producers.
“Superpower” begins on the day last February that Russian President Vladimir Putin began his invasion of Ukraine with a full-scale assault of missiles and ground incursions.
