How does a middle-aged widow foil the Nazis in occupied France? By knitting—in code!During World War II, a middle-aged Canadian woman – secretly Jewish – is recruited by the British Operations Executive to serve as a spy in Nazi-occupied France. Her male colleague is skeptical she'll make any difference because she's a woman — and an 'old' one at that. But she defies expectations and challenges the chauvinism and antisemitism of the times, using her craft of knitting to pass coded intelligence messages about the Germans to the Allies.Spycraft was inspired by the research of writers-producers Kirk Dunn and Claire Ross-Dunn, who uncovered untold stories of women during WWII using knitting as a tool for espionage — listening in on Nazi soldiers who never saw them as a threat, and stitching secret codes into everyday garments to smuggle intelligence past enemy lines.Concessions and cash bar available.
