A Call to Spy (Remembrance Day Special)
Based on a true story. Established in June 1940 in London, the Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a volunteer force set up to wage a secret war behind enemy lines. Prime Minister Winston Churchill famously ordered the SOE’s agents to “set Europe ablaze” through espionage, sabotage and building a resistance network in occupied Europe.
Dozens of women were recruited by the SOE and deployed as spies, including American agent Virginia Hall and Indian-British radio operator Noor Inayat Khan. Both women worked with Vera Atkins, the intelligence officer for F Section at the SOE, which was responsible for the recruitment and deployment of agents into France.
F Section agents were trained locally, at Wanborough Great Barn, and other secret locations, where they learned how to handle guns and explosives, memorise complex codes, organise munitions and supplies drops and endure harsh interrogation.
The film will be followed by a Q&A session with Carol Brown and Ray Windmill of The Secret WW2 Learning Network.
All proceeds raised from the film will be shared by two charities:-
Chiddingfold Village Hall & The Secret WW2 Learning Network
