Ex-CIA spymaster Peter Sichel (who passed away last year, aged 102) led an extraordinary, storied life - from escaping Nazi Germany, to setting up the CIA's operations in post-war Berlin and becoming a key player in Cold War espionage.
In this riveting film, Sichel pulls back the curtain on a life packed with secrets, covert actions, moral dilemmas and geopolitical intrigue. As a young, German Jewish refugee in 1940s America, he was perfectly placed for his first spy mission, and from there quickly rose up the ranks in the rapidly developing world of covert Intelligence.
Intimate witness to repeated US-backed regime changes and the intelligence-gathering around them, in The Last Spy, Sichel candidly reveals the obscured root causes behind conflicts that are currently shaking our world today.
