A year after Benjamin Hall was severely injured when his crew vehicle was struck by incoming fire in Ukraine, the Fox News correspondent has published a book, Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home, due to be released Tuesday.
The title refers not just to the attack but to the covert, extraordinary mission to rescue Hall from Kyiv, then nearly surrounded by Russian troops, and deliver him across the border to Poland and ultimately to a hospital in Germany. In writing the book, Hall had to do his own reporting to find out the details of the mission to retrieve him, which included correspondent Jennifer Griffin’s mobilization of efforts to enlist the help of the group Save Our Allies.
Hall lost one leg and both feet, his sight in one eye and the use of one of his hands along with severe burns in the explosive attack. Two of this colleagues, cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova, who was working as a freelance consultant for the network, were killed.
In the book he describes in great detail what happened: how he was hearing in his mind the voice of his daughter, telling him to get out of the vehicle as it was struck, that ultimately saved his life. He also describes the immediate aftermath of the blasts, including a final few moments with Zakrzewski, who was still conscious but ultimately died of a shrapnel would that severed his femoral artery.
Hall also writes of his own intimate journey from war correspondent — a job he says made him feel truly “alive” — to father and husband, where the gratitude of family has taken precedent.
Before going to Ukraine, Hall had moved the previous year to Washington, D.C., to cover the State Department, seeking less hazardous work after a career

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Pink Floyd’s proposed $500 million sale of the rights to their iconic five-decade, multiplatinum recorded-music catalog is “basically dead” because the surviving bandmembers “just can’t get along,” four sources close to the situation tell Variety — however, sources close to the band insist that it’s not. “You could say the deal is no longer ‘active,’” one of the four sources says. “But at the same time, it’s still on the table. It’s a strange situation!” It’s par for the course with this long-running and contentious proposed deal, which sees Roger Waters and David Gilmour, the two long-feuding principals of one of the most critically and financially successful acts of the rock era, taking public potshots at each other while simultaneously trying to find enough common ground to close a deal sources say could reach a half-billion dollars.

Christopher Vourlias When he began working on his latest documentary, “The Last Seagull,” acclaimed Bulgarian filmmaker Tonislav Hristov (“The Good Postman”) set himself a seemingly simple task: to follow the last of the dying breed of male escorts who, since the communist era, have spent their summers seducing foreign women in resort towns along the Black Sea. That plan went astray, however, when real-world events intervened: first the coronavirus pandemic, which grounded flights and shuttered the very resorts where those escorts plied their trade; then the war in Ukraine, which impacted “The Last Seagull” in unexpected ways. “This is what’s nice, but also scary, about documentaries,” Hristov told Variety after the film’s world premiere at the Thessaloniki Intl. Documentary Festival. “You never know what’s going to happen next.”
