“The Last Spy” is the riveting biography of 102-year-old CIA spymaster Peter Sichel, telling for the first time the epic and unvarnished history of the US foreign intelligence service from the inside. With a good dose of wit and humor to boot, Sichel unpacks the obscured roots of conflicts that plague today’s world and the toll espionage took on his personal life.

[9 out of 10, Film Review]
“At the age of 102, CIA Spy Master Peter Sichel, the Jewish James Bond, looks back on a life filled with secrets, moral dilemmas, and geopolitical intrigue. Katharina Otto-Bernstein succeeds in creating a spellbinding lesson in power politics, peppered with acerbic wit. Above all, the relevance to our present, both political and social, stands out, as Sichel asks what we are willing to learn from the mistakes of history”.

“A sharp reflection on power, loyalty, and truth, THE LAST SPY, offers a rare, intimate portrait of a spy who never lost his humanity—and who now insists on having the last word with the CIA.”
