NOW on PBS: The Mole Agent
[link removed]
Maite Alberdi's latest documentary, The Mole Agent ([link removed]) , broadcasts tonight on POV on PBS (check local listings ([link removed]) ). Tune in for the film that Indiewire ([link removed]) called "the most heartwarming spy movie ever made" and that Documentary Magazine ([link removed]) declared is "in a class by itself." Follow as 83-year-old Sergio, a first-time spy (the "worst spy ever," according to Alberdi) is sent off to a nursing home in Santiago, Chile where he's to infiltrate the place's sordid secrets but, in the midst of his mission, he learns some valuable lessons about friendship and kindness instead. The Mole Agent ([link removed]) is Chile's submission to the Oscars® and recently received a Goya
nomination.
