About the film

The Power We Hold: Stories from Women Spies reveals the untold stories of ten women from the U.S. intelligence community: the most powerful women you’ve never heard of.

Directed by two former intelligence professionals turned first-time filmmakers, the film began as an effort to dismantle Hollywood myths about women in espionage and bring the real women behind those stories into the light. Along the way, it became a deeper exploration of what it means to be a powerful woman in America today, and how power can be shared, exercised with integrity, and defined on our own terms.
