The Real Spies Among Friends
From Cold War Washington to contemporary Moscow, Beirut backstreets to Buckingham Palace, it’s a story as gripping as any thriller. British double agents, Philby, Burgess, Maclean, and Blunt, came from privileged backgrounds, but stole secrets and leaked them to Russia. Told by experts including ex-officers from MI5 and the KGB, this documentary lifts the lid on a shocking chapter in history.
