#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Don your trenchcoat and go undercover for this tense discussion of spy-craft and diplomacy. The fictionalised escapades of the real-life inspiration for Miss Moneypenny and the remarkable true story of two Australians who helped the Allies win World War II both shine some light into the shady corners of subterfuge. Enjoy them shaken, not stirred.
