About Cold War Secrets: Stealing the Atomic Bomb
On the 29th of August 1949, the USSR set off their first atomic bomb, just four years after the Americans. The speed with which they achieved this surprised the world. What nobody knew was that it was the result of espionage. At the centre of the operation was a very unusual female spy, Elizabeth Zaroubin, in a story worthy of the best spy novels ever written.
Directed by Gérard Puechmorel, Cold War Secrets: Stealing the Atomic Bomb leans on a strong ensemble — Hervé Lacroix, Albert Einstein, Joseph Stalin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
