Long Island Jewish Film FestivalTHE LAST SPY
Tuesday, April 21st at 7 PM
Programmed by David Schwartz, Independent Curator & Writer
Peter Sichel, born in 1922 into a wealthy German Jewish wine family, fled with them to the United States. Joining the army as soon as America enters the war, he was assigned to the newly created Office of Strategic Services, beginning an astonishing globe-trotting career as a master spy. At the age of 100, he sat down to tell his amazing story, taking us through the defeat of Germany, rescues at Dachau, the Cold War, the attempted overthrow of Indonesian president Sukarno, and incursions in Communist China. Revealing the secret workings behind global conflicts, Katharina Otto-Bernstein’s fascinating documentary is at once a personal portrait, historical drama, and detective thriller. (US/Germany, 2025, 106 mins, English and German | Dir. Katharina Otto-Bernstein)
“There is enough material to fill a miniseries… Sharp as the proverbial tack, he seems happy to discuss his life, work and belief the US is a country that makes no attempt to learn from its past mistakes.” (Allan Hunter, Screen Daily)
