(23,185 posts)1. K&R! Penn also points out how the Ukrainian people are fighting for a sense of unity that we've
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.

Most celebrities just Talk the Talk but he Walks the Walk and has for over 20 years. When I saw him on No Reservations Haiti I knew he was the real deal and so did Tony Bourdain.
