A Call to Spy

In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency - SOE - to recruit and train women as spies.

Details

During World War II, as Britain faces desperate times, Prime Minister Winston Churchill makes a bold move by establishing the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - a spy agency tasked with recruiting and training women as spies. A Call to Spy (2019) centers around the courageous actions of these female agents who risk their lives to gather crucial intelligence and aid the war effort.

The film follows the journeys of three remarkable women who join the SOE: Virginia Hall, an American with a wooden leg; Noor Inayat Khan, a Muslim pacifist of Indian descent; and Vera Atkins, a Jewish Romanian immigrant. Despite facing discrimination and skepticism due to their gender and backgrounds, these women prove their worth through their intelligence, resourcefulness, and bravery in dangerous missions behind enemy lines.

A Call to Spy showcases the untold stories of these unsung heroes who played a significant role in the war, challenging stereotypes and demonstrating the invaluable contributions of female spies. As they navigate through perilous situations and personal sacrifices, these women exemplify courage, resilience, and patriotism in the face of adversity.
