Citizen Penn this May.
The film (pictured) chronicles the moment actor Sean Penn and a team of volunteers landed in Haiti just days after the devastating 7.0 earthquake struck the country in 2010, and the 10 years since.
Penn later went on to create an organization called J/P HRO (now Core), which has expanded its efforts across the U.S. for the past few years, most recently organizing free COVID-19 testing sites.
Originally set to premiere at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, the film won the audience choice award at the Heartland Film Festival and played AFI Fest, Raindance and the Vancouver International Film Festival.

A survey exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon the archive and stock footage industry illustrates that as companies are seeing increasing demand for archive content — and as a result, increasing business — there is a stronger sense of optimism concerning the prospects for the industry in the lockdown era.
The survey, conducted by archive service Footage.net, was the second issued by the company in the COVID-19 era, and was conducted online over a 28-day period in January and February of 2021. Sixty footage companies from around the world contributed with input. The majority of the companies taking part were mature businesses, in operation for 10 or more years, and based primarily in the U.S. and/or the United Kingdom.

Malika The Lion Queen.
“This is a space we at Fox have been looking to enter; but we wanted to be strategic about it and the premise had to be something big and broad that would appeal to all viewers. When Grant [Mansfield] and Tom [Hugh-Jones] pitched
Malika, I knew straight away it was right for us,” Rob Wade (pictured left), president of alternative entertainment and specials at Fox Entertainment, tells
Realscreen.
The series — executive produced by Plimsoll’s Tom Hugh-Jones, Martha Holmes and Grant Mansfield – travels to South Africa’s Kruger National Park, the home of lioness Malika.
Narrated by Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett, the special takes viewers into the life of the lioness, exploring the role the animals play in the lion kingdom.

April 1, 2021
More than 140 prominent documentary filmmakers and decision-makers in the entertainment industry have signed an open letter to PBS president and CEO Paula Kerger requesting data regarding the diversity statistics for American public broadcaster PBS.
The letter comes from Beyond Inclusion — a Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC)-led collective of non-fiction filmmakers, executives, and field builders, many of whom have worked with PBS. The group, through the letter, is suggesting that based on available evidence, PBS, America’s largest non-commercial media organization, has not met its diversity mandate as evidenced by its past and present practices.
