Chichinette: The Accidental Spy is an inspiring documentary about Marthe Cohn, a feisty French Jewish woman who joined the French Army during WWII after Hitler’s rise to power. After remaining silent for nearly 60 years, Marthe began sharing her extraordinary story of resistance—how she used her German accent and blonde hair to pose as a nurse, slipping behind enemy lines to gather critical intelligence on Nazi movements for Allied commanders. Her family had fled to the south of France, and one of her sisters was sent to Auschwitz. Marthe’s harrowing journey is told with reverence, and her irrepressible spirit fills the film with hope.
