The anthology is structured into nine diverse segments. The upcoming phase of production is set to take place in Ukraine, continuing the project's momentum.

Noteworthy contribution by Penn comes in the form of the final segment titled ‘The Eagle.’ Directed by the acclaimed Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi of The Tribe fame, this story highlights a Ukrainian nature reserve devastated by the conflict. Key elements include recordings of rare bird calls within the national park, which are disrupted by the sudden onset of war.

Director Slaboshpytskyi praised Penn's commitment: "His professionalism and dedication left me in absolute awe. It was a significant honor working alongside such a revered figure in the film industry." Penn's dedication to his role was equally matched by his enthusiastic stance on anti-war issues.

Throughout his career, Penn has been a vocal advocate against war. His commitment has included multiple meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and co-directing the documentary Superpower, conceived before the war began.

The anthology started production last year, featuring titles such as ‘The Rabbit, Or There and Back Again’, ‘The Sonny’, and ‘The Cow in the Fog.’ The stories are derived from actual events, underscoring the universal havoc wreaked by environmental calamities, which know no national boundaries.

International acclaim has been achieved by the Ukrainian series Those Who Stayed, produced by Film.UA and Red Arrow Studios International. This series, which narrates the experiences of those enduring the war, has been distributed across multiple territories.
