Sean Penn, Vladimir Zelenskyy Rally Industry Support for Ukraine at CORE Gala: ‘This Is Our Reality’
11.06.2022 - 22:17 / variety.com
Cynthia Littleton Business EditorThis is not a movie, Ukraine president Vladimir Zelenskyy told the crowd Friday night at the fundraising gala for Sean Penn’s huminatarian relief organization CORE.The embattled leader addressed the dinner event with a pre-recorded video that urged the wealthy and powerful attendees at the Hollywood Palladium event to find ways to support Ukraine. His five-minute plea was intercut with scenes of the detritus of war large and small, from buildings being blown up to a close up of a battered and bloodied stuffed animal left behind on a road by a fleeing family.“This is our reality,” a grim-faced Zelenskyy, who wore a green T-shirt and fatigues and spoke while sitting in front of a tactical map.
The actor who became Ukraine’s president in 2019, addressed the industry crowd as a fellow professional. “It’s not vfx, it’s not computer graphics.
All of this is our reality,” he said. Ukrainians have been resisting Russian advances for 107 days and counting, Zelenskyy said.
He cited the symbolic gesture that Hollywood made during WWII in making Oscar statuettes out of plaster when all available metal was needed for the war effort.“Any help is valuable and important” for combatting “this evil which is called Russian full-scale aggression,” Zelenskyy said. “Fight for Ukraine because Ukraine is fighting for the whole world.”Earlier in the evening, Ukraine’s cause was also championed by Dakh Daughters, an avant-garde trio of female musicians, who performed several numbers (under white pancake makeup) and closed by unfurling a large Ukrainian flag emblazoned with “Arm Ukraine.”Penn’s Community Organized Relief Effort was born out of the actor’s desire to bring help to Haiti after the January 2010
