Description

Inspired by incredible true stories, this is the untold account of the personal sacrifices of courageous women who put their lives on the line to fight for freedom during WWII. At the beginning of the Second World War, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency - the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - to recruit and train women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. SOE's 'spymistress,' Vera Atkins (Stana Katic), recruits two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas), an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan (Radhika Apte), a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women help to undermine the Nazi regime in France, leaving an unmistakable legacy in their wake.

    Yet another movie where Apple TV decide ‘no need for English subtitles’. I wouldn’t wish for anyone to have the hearing challenges I suffer - maybe EXCEPT the idiots at Apple TV who figure deaf people don’t matter. Well all lives matter! Do you HEAR me Apple TV? Nope, of course they don’t: they are deaf to the needs of folk like me! Will watch on Netflix!

  • Why are there no English Subtitles or AD audio description?

    Can you please add English subtitles and AD audio description for those that are not blessed with perfect hearing or perfect eyesight. I really wanted to buy this film, but like many others, I cannot, because of the missing English subtitles. Why do film studios sell physical films with English subtitles and AD audio description, then remove them when selling the same films in digital format? Yet another film that I will have to wait to watch on Netflix!
  • Beautiful & powerful.

    This film deserves watching, some outstanding performances & characters you should know about. My Grandfather was SOE in Yugoslavia, so I know how hard life was for them.
  • Amazing courage
