Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent To make war crimes doc “The Cranes Call,” which premiered at Tribeca on Sunday, director Laura Warner embedded with investigator Anya Neistat of the Clooney Foundation for Justice. While in Ukraine, Warner watched Neistat as she doggedly documented evidence of human rights abuses to bring Russian commanders and soldiers to trial in courts across Europe. Neisat worked closely with Solomiia Stasiv, her young Ukrainian interpreter, who quickly became her invaluable sidekick as they traveled to all corners of Ukraine and spoke to survivors of violence, sifting through wreckage and piecing together clues from a still ongoing conflict.
Warner and the doc’s executive producer Siobhan Sinnerton spoke to Variety about the challenges of making this slow-burning thriller-like piece. How did the project originate? What role did Hilary Clinton’s HiddenLight Productions play in germinating it, and what role did the Clooney Foundation play? Siobhan Sinnerton: Well Hidden Light has a whole range of output series and single docs, but a lot of my background personally is in conflict documentary, in one form or another, whether it’s Syria or Myanmar, or wherever it might be. And particularly with a focus on the impact on civilians on the ground.
So when [the war in] Ukraine happened, it was natural that we were looking around to see what we could do. I knew that there were a lot of really good filmmakers covering the frontline conflict. But I was really wanting to tell a slightly different story; not in the thick of it.

Kate Aurthur administrator Two days before Season 4 of “The Boys” premiered on June 13, showrunner Eric Kripke announced on social media that the upcoming fifth season of the Prime Video series for Amazon will be its last. Kripke hedged on the question when asked about it for this interview, which took place a few weeks before his announcement; but he did state clearly that he doesn’t want “The Boys” ever to be “turning into the thing that we’re parodying” — that is, an endless stream of superhero content that has flooded pop culture for years. “It’d be a huge bummer if of all shows, this is the show that sells out,” Kripke said, “so I’m going to try.” Of course, the end of “The Boys” next season won’t mean the end of the whole universe around the show, which is based on the comics series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
