Synopsis by Clare Perez-Izaguirre Lopez
This drama focuses on the true events during World War II of Mildred Gillars (Meadow Williams) an American woman who famously broadcast Nazi propaganda from the Third Reich to American troops. Subsequently arrested for treason and with her patriotism put on trial, the most hated woman in America coined “Axis Sally” is represented by James Laughlin (Al Pacino); the only lawyer who would take her case. The nationally covered trial is on the front page of every newspaper, but is the public prepared for the truth? Directed by Michael Polish. Co-starring Mitch Pileggi and Thomas Kretschmann.
