I, SPRY, the dramatised documentary from the award-winning filmmaker of The Prime Minister is Missing and WhoKilled Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler? uncovers ASIO’s intriguing history during the Cold War under enigmatic spymaster, Charles Spry.
In 1949, with a nuclear arms race set to escalate the Cold War, Prime Minister Menzies appoints Colonel Charles Spry to take charge of the fledgling Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, ASIO. The staunchly anti- communist, fifth-generation soldier recruits new officers to fight a covert war against a cunning enemy. Their primary task is to investigate Australians spying for the Soviets and infiltrate Communist Party branches with undercover agents.
