This feature documentary tells the untold story of William Stephenson, a British undercover agent who during WWII was sent to the US to manipulate American public opinion towards entering the war against Hitler. Eighty years before “fake news” become a well known, widely used and controversial political tool, Stephenson wrote the playbook for it on the fly to try to defeat the Nazis – and with astounding success. The film tells a riveting tale of spies and political intrigue that laid the foundation for what was then a blindspot in American foreign policy: the spy agency. Ian Fleming’s is purported to have based his James Bond character on this William Stephenson, a man who operated in the corridors of power, always undercover and out of sight. The film features rich re-enactments and valuable insights of historians who had exclusive access to the secret files that disclose Stephenson’s full mission in extraordinary detail.
