This documentary shows the reality of cause and consequences of the war in Ukraine. The value of unity of nation and how powerful a nation can be when it's unified. The role of a leader when a nation is facing a catastrophic disaster. The transformation of president Zelensky from a comedian to the leader of the nation at the most brutal war since WW2 is very well performed in the movie.
I looked at Sean Penn with a different perspective. The courage of celebrity of his level to attend the most dangerous parts in Ukraine, visiting the frontline is inspiring. Much of respect to Sean Penn for this work.

No matter what is said about you, I am totally by your side. Don't let haters get you down. I know what I'm seeing in you. And Zelensky. Totally. This is your best achievement so far.
I loved this documentary with all my heart. I hope it will get picked up wider than Paramount+. Everyone should see it and be reminded of why we are helping Ukraine. Why it is important to us and the world. My favorite scene is in the apartment. The woman mentioned trying to save things that were emotionally valuable. Sean didn't say, "What can I do?" but "What can I carry out?" Right there, in the moment. One reason why I admire him.

This is a documentary everybody needs to see. In a time where democracy is challenged, hope & courage emerges. It is bizarre how knowledge can be a deterrent to what is possible, all this time I have studied Vladimir Putin only to find out President Zelenskyy is the true story. This president has restored my hope in democracy, and it is significantly inspirational to see such unity, and strength on the frontlines of Ukraine. My support for this president and country has increased tenfold just by watching this film. Sean Penn is a true journalist, and as he quoted Ronald Reagan's "To be a good actor, you have to be able to be yourself on camera." An unwavering strength this actor holds. Sean Penn is an inspiration and I commend his ability to withstand the politics and offer strictly true human emotional responses to this brutal & unprecedented invasion. I am incredibly proud to be an American and represent the ideology of democracy, but to be Ukrainian right now means to fight for it. We must all refrain from wavering our support to the upmost important mission of our time, freedom. God bless America, and God bless Ukraine.

Why the documentary cannot be considered mediocre: because someone put in the effort to make it at that particular time, it deserves a 10/10. Westerners don't understand one thing: what it's like to be located in this part of the world, at the crossroads of three great historical empires. One of which will never allow you to live as you wish. The only solution is the sacrifice of blood, otherwise you will cease to exist. No nation in this geographical area has gained the right to self-determination without going through 2-3 wars and millions of deaths. And the fact that this is happening in the 21st century is horrifying.
