Based on years of dedicated historical research, this World War Two-set film focuses on the important women who were recruited by Winston Churchill as he formed a new spy agency – the Special Operations Executive (SEO). Known as “the spymistress”, Vera Atkins seeks out two unusual but dedicated candidates for the mission to undermine and destroy the Nazi regime; Virginia is an American who, despite her wooden leg, is entirely focused on helping win the war by any means possible and Noor is a Indian Muslim pacifist seeking peace throughout the world. Together, the three of them will significantly impact the outcome of history. Led by a primary creative crew of women, this is a film which aims to rediscover a portion of history that has been neutered over time and celebrate those who deserve undue credit for putting themselves in danger for the greater good.
