A Call to Spy

A Call to Spy (2020) is a historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher, the film follows three real women recruited into Churchill's clandestine Special Operations Executive when the Reich controlled most of Western Europe. Sarah Megan Thomas, Stana Katic, and Radhika Apte lead the cast.

The story centers on recruiter Vera Atkins (Katic), who handpicks agents for France under German occupation. Virginia Hall (Thomas) is an American with a prosthetic leg whom the Gestapo flagged as the most dangerous Allied agent operating on the continent. Noor Inayat Khan (Apte) is a pacifist of Indian descent who became the first female radio operator dropped behind enemy lines. Each woman understood the stakes: exposure meant interrogation, Dachau, or a bullet.

Sarah Megan Thomas wrote the screenplay and also produced — a decade-long effort to bring these overlooked figures out of the footnotes of wartime history. Stream A Call to Spy (2020) online on iFILM.
