Synopsis

"Voices from the Silence, Women in Intelligence" is a unique project because Russian intelligence services declassified their archives and disclosed the names of ten female officers exclusively for the authors of the film. The documentary shows how these 10 women made changes in governmental policy and world history. Some of the characters of the film are illegal agents who worked in many different countries hiding their real identities. The project is interesting not only for showing world history from a new viewpoint but also for the fact that each character tells her own story mentioning even the smallest details.
