On July 4th, SPYFLIX Spotlight documentary feature The Codebreaker will begin streaming. The doc sheds light on America's first female cryptanalyst, Elizabeth Friedman, whose greatest code-breaking achievement was falsely claimed by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. Friedman signed a Navy oath of silence and took to her grave the truth - that she led the destruction of a major spy ring.

Ships of the Northern Fleet continues to pick up speed.

SPYFLIX Judge’s Corner: Alex Cary

We love SPYFLIX Guest Judge Alex Cary for many reasons - one being that, as a commander in the British Army, Cary saved a soldier's life during an IRA mortar attack. The Homeland E.P. is in London scouting locations for his adaptation of Ben Macintyre’s A Spy Among Friends, featuring Damian Lewis and Dominic West. Cary generously made time to chat with us.
