Oded Gur Arie was 12 when his father told him he was a spy for Mossad and swore him to secrecy. The Champagne Spy is a fascinating look at the extraordinary experiences of an Israeli spy in Cairo told now for the first time by his middle-aged son. Seems like a Bond movie, only it’s true. Winner of the 2007 Israeli Academy Award for Best Documentary.
