I am glad that Keaton mentioned the Polish people. They are a great nation.

Thank you Nicolle for your heartfelt reportage. Thank you Michael for your generosity of spirit and for bringing attention to this great humanitarian pediatrician.

I have no idea how MSNBC acquired Michael Keaton for this but it is absolutely wonderful he knows everything you know that right

[marianneb.]

Dr. Redlener is a great man. Edit: And, obviously, President Zelenskyy, Mr. Keaton, and Ms. Wallace are all great as well!! This was a great segment. Thank you.

"In normal times we listen to politicians and laugh about comedians. In difficult time we listen to comedians and laugh about politicians."

In short: "follow the funny guy"

Excellent exposé on the horrible situation faced by the Ukranians and by all their children

I've always loved Michael Keaton because he ain't too proud to beg .

[brendaraudebaugh]

Wow, Michael Keaton speaking up for Ukrainians. Nice to see famous people speaking up for others. Everyone needs to do this and more. Thank you people.

Oh my God you guys got Michael Keaton on here this is absolutely wonderful

Very sad. My father was displaced during WW2. He was damaged during that time and he damaged his children. This trauma can have generational effects.

It is so hard to watch pieces about Ukraine, but this had to be viewed. Dr. Redlener is endlessly committed, but Michael Keaton seems poised not to stop until he gets results.

*May God Bless the nation and people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 in their fight for freedom.*

6 months of a three day special operation, there is no way the Russian people are happy with these results.

[scotsmanofnewengland]

What will these injured and displaced children think and feel of Russian as they get older and then where will this world be ? GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦

[pro-democracy]

Ukrainian keep it up! You are doing great

[fdrstan]

Just introduced my kids to Beetlejuice the other night (they loved it, it’s aged extremely well).. Michael Keaton is the man.

[j.j.kucala]

Michael is from my home town and I am very proud of his efforts to bring the stories of the Ukrainian people especially the children who are being effected by this senseless war brought on by a madman.

[Chuckakhan]

Well if Batman says so clearly Zelensky is a top bloke

[createallow]

The Ukrainian people are extraordinary.

My father was 4 years old when the Russians attacked Helsinki in the Winter War of the 1930s. His trauma--from spending many freezing, dark nights in bomb shelters without food and from seeing blood and guts and severed limbs--made him a terrifying man...I lived my life with suicidal thoughts nearly every single day until just a couple of years ago. I'm 62. That's what will happen to these children. They'll become adults, and they may even seem just fine and dandy, but inside, they will always be wounded and who knows how they'll act towards their own children--if they ever feel safe enough to have children, that is.
