Tracking Edith

The story of Edith Tudor-Hart (born Edith Suschitzky in 1908, in Vienna, died in 1973 in Brighton), who led a double life: on the one hand she was a photographer of workers and street children in Vienna and London, of poverty and social deprivation, on the other was a Soviet agent. She recruited Kim Philby, and was one of the architects of the Cambridge Five, the Soviet Union?s most successful spy ring in Great Britain. Edith was Peter Stephan Jungk?s great aunt, his mother?s cousin; the writer/film maker tries to unravel the truth about his aunt?s life, in Austria, Great Britain and Russia. A documentary about the renowned photographer, about a spy with a conscience and hidden secrets in a family.
