The makers of “Citizen Penn,” a documentary about actor Sean Penn’s volunteer work in Haiti, have updated their film to include footage of the Oscar-winner’s efforts to expand access to Covid-19 testing.
Over the past few months, director Don Hardy and producer Shawn Dailey have followed Penn as he worked with his non-profit organization Core to set up free testing sites in places such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Oakland, New Orleans and the Navajo Nation.
The new footage will play during the film’s final credits — a section that includes a new song “Eden: To Find Love” that was written by Linda Perry and performed by Bono. Penn was motivated to set up centers after it became clear that the U.S. faced a severe shortage of coronavirus tests, a public health failure that experts believe contributed to the virus’ rapid spread.
