FOLCS is pleased to offer a special advance screening of A Call to Spy ahead of a Conversation on the film with actor, writer, and producer, Sarah Megan Thomas, and director, Lydia Dean Pilcher, on Thursday, September 24 at 7:30pm EDT.

In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency – “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. Inspired by true stories, this original screenplay draws on SOE, OSS (pre-cursor to CIA), and CIA files, as well as interviews with living relatives.

All advance screening spots have been filled, but you can still and should register for the Conversation event!

If you were one of the first 200 RSVPs, you will receive a link to view the film on Tuesday, September 22. The link will be available up until the Conversation event on Thursday, September 24. Any questions, please contact info@folcs.org.
