This compelling film, using the best features of a documentary including historical re-enactments and incredible archival footage, takes a different look at the life of Madi Hari. The filmmakers take us on an absorbing journey into the past of the problematic icon, from Parisian performer to International Spy, leaving us with a new perspective. This wonderfully executed film goes beyond the "heard many times before" tale of Madi Hari, and gives us instead a powerful tale of rebellion and survival.
