A Call to Spy
Ordinary women. Extraordinary heroes.
Directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher
Produced by SMT Pictures
A historical drama about three women spies in WWII that balances intimate female bonds with wartime danger and moral complexity.
The story of Vera Atkins, a crafty spy recruiter, and two of the first women she selects for Churchill's "secret army": Virginia Hall, a daring American undaunted by a disability and Noor Inayat Khan, a pacifist. These civilian women form an unlikely sisterhood while entangled in dangerous missions to turn the tide of the war.
