Description

US PREMIERE Take a trip beyond headlines and meet the hyperactive boy who would go on to be a TV mogul and actor, all before becoming the president of Ukraine and the subject of global attention in leading the country’s defense against Russian aggression. With interviews with those who knew Volodymyr Zelensky before he became one of the most famous men in the world, the documentary combines interviews and archival material to show us the Zelensky we don’t know. - Bedatri D. Choudhury

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with directors/writer Yves Jeuland, writer Ariane Chemin, and producer Guilaine Chenu.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
