Mata Hari: The Naked Spy (2017): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2017, Mata Hari: The Naked Spy is a documentary film directed by Machiel Amorison, running about 78 minutes.

What it’s about. 100 years ago Mata Hari faced the firing squad as a convicted Dutch spy. It was at this moment that the legend of Mata Hari, the seductive spy, was born. Newly-discovered documents cast doubt on her guilt and reveal startling truths about her life. Mata Hari was a self-made woman whose boldness and sexuality threatened the male establishment. Most of what we've known about her until now has largely been myth. Mata Hari's challenges as an abused wife, single mother and a creative independent woman are familiar to women around the world. At the turn of the century, her struggles to attain sexual freedom, artistic expression, and liberation from the constraints of conventional society are the same ones women face today. She graced the cover of Vogue, performed all over Europe and left a coterie of smitten admirers in her wake.

Who’s in it. Mata Hari: The Naked Spy stars Florence Rapati as Mata Hari, Thekla Reuten as Mata Hari (Voice), Giorgi Abramishvili as Vladimir and Kenneth Darryll Charles as Vladimir (voice), among others.
