Synopsis

"The Invisible Spy" is a gripping six-episode miniseries that chronicles the extraordinary life of Virginia Hall Goillot, an American who became one of the most highly decorated spies in World War II. Hall’s journey begins in 1930s Europe, where a hunting accident cost her her leg. Refusing to be deterred, she enters the world of espionage, where her tenacity, resourcefulness, and sharp mind defy conventional expectations. After joining the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), Hall is parachuted into Nazi-occupied France. Using the code names "Marie" and "Diane," she befriends, leads, and empowers French resistance cells, orchestrating sabotage operations, gathering vital intelligence, and helping Allied forces weaken the Nazis’ stranglehold on Europe. Her prosthetic leg and her quiet, modest demeanor make her appear ordinary, yet it is this very ordinariness that allows her to blend into her surroundings and avoid detection from the ruthless Gestapo. Hall’s work is vital to the success of the Normandy Invasion, but her courage comes at great personal cost. She is one of the most hunted women in Europe by the Nazis, yet she continues to push forward, driven by her commitment to freedom.
