Linda Perry and Bono have written an original song for the upcoming documentary Citizen Penn. The track, entitled Eden: To Find Love, is performed by Bono and will be featured during the film’s end credits. Perry has also composed the original score for the movie, which is directed by Don Hardy (Pick of the Litter) and revolves around actor and filmmaker Sean Penn’s efforts following the devastating 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010. The documentary chronicles the moment Penn arrives on the island, and the ten years since, as Penn the humanitarian carts supplies, builds tents, procures medicine, and calls on his Hollywood friends to join with financial support. Hardy is also producing the project with Shawn Dailey.Perry has previously contributed original songs to Peter Sollett’s Freeheld, as well as Anne Fletcher’s Dumplin’ (co-written with Dolly Parton), for which she received a Golden Globe and Grammy Award nomination.  Citizen Penn was originally set to be released at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and is now awaiting a new premiere date.
