"And now, following him as he helps those most in need during this pandemic, I realized that the work he's doing around the world is one of the most critical and oftentimes overlooked necessities in disaster relief," he added.

The documentary will be executive produced by Imagine Entertainment's Michael Rosenberg and Louisa Velis, World Central Kitchen's Nate Mook and Richard Wolffe and National Geographic Documentary Films' Carolyn Bernstein and Ryan Harrington.
