Kimmel: Sean Penn on Filming in Ukraine with President Zelensky & the World We Leave Our Kids



Sean talks about meeting with President Zelensky in a bunker the night of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, being there to shoot a documentary, the U.S. State Department telling him to get out, what he hopes everyone gains from watching this new film, what Zelensky thought of it, taking a bunch of Ukrainian fighter pilots to see Top Gun: Maverick, lying to his kids when visiting dangerous places, and the current conflicts around the world.

absolutely lost and have to get back. His story can be a sort of salvation for what's going on in our country right now, because you'll see your own familiar place in the film, the communities, the people, and what's happening to them.

His film also appears to be on Amazon Prime, not just Paramount Plus.
