This is a great documentary that I’m glad Making Waves put on my radar.
This is the story of how the British during World War 2 went to Palestine and recruited Jewish refugees to become spies and go back behind enemy lines and do espionage. The jobs they needed done needed the ability to instantly blend into deep cover situations, something that a British national could never do.
This is a nail biting spy tale that is going to have you on the edge of your seat. Perfectly set up by opening with a letter written by one of the operatives who was captured and heading toward execution, the film lets us know right at the start that this was not fun and games. The film then speeds along telling us the story of the men and women who put their lives on the line to fight the Nazis.
The film is a perfect blending of documentary and recreation. A lot of times with tales like where it’s either pure documentary or pure recreation you wonder how it would be told in another style. Here you never wonder simply because the mix is so perfect. Ultimately you just want to go again as soon as the film ends.
This is an absolute delight and highly recommended.
