This is the thrilling story of British-Indian World War Two heroine, Noor-un-Nissa Inayat Khan.

It’s 1940 and hundreds of families are being forced to flee Nazi-occupied France. Noor refuses to stand by while Nazi forces invade her home and terrorise her people, so she travels to England and signs up to join the war efforts, despite her mother’s wishes.

It isn’t long before her talents are noticed and she is chosen by Winston Churchill to sneak back into France as an undercover agent. Noor returns home but this time, as a secret agent…

Can Noor keep her true identity a secret, report her findings back to London and help the Allies win the war?

Experience history first-hand!
