Remember when Sean Penn was sneaking into Ukraine to hang out with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky?
Well, he’s made his documentary about being first to Kyiv and it’s premiering on Paramount Plus September 18th.
“Superpower” is produced by Susan Zirinsky, President of See It Now Studios. Zirinsky is the ex-head of CBS News, ex-head of “60 Minutes.” She became famous when Holly Hunter played a character fashioned after her in the great James L. Brooks movie, “Broadcast News.”
“See it Now” is named by Zirinsky for the original “60 Minutes” on CBS in the 1950s created by legends Edward R. Murrow and Fred Friendly.
The film was financed by FIFTH SEASON and VICE News, with VICE Studios and Projected Picture Works producing alongside Penn, Billy Smith, Sergei Bespalov, Danny Gabai and Lauren Terp. Executive Producers are Kate Ward, Katie Peck, Andrew Freston, Bruce Dixon, Hozefa Lokhandwala, Subrata De, Susan Zirinsky, Terence Wrong, Anthony Gudas, Chad A. Verdi and Sasha Cherniavsky.
