A new documentary 'A Compassionate Spy' tells the story of Theodore Hall, a Manhattan Project physicist who passed secrets to the USSR. Inside the tale of the American teen who spied on the Soviets ⬇️
Not all of the Halls’ intimates are onboard with Ted’s supposedly altruistic betrayal. Boria Sax, Saville’s son, admits that he was devastated when he discovered his father’s role in the leak, arguing that the depths of Stalin’s murderous deeds should have precluded any assistance to the Soviets. Joan insists neither her nor Ted were fully aware of what the Soviet dictator was up to. But she remains unbowed.
In ceding the floor to Joan, and tracing Ted’s path without a hint of rancor, James has made a bold artistic and moral choice. There is no overt narrative voice here, but it’s not hard to presume James is sympathetic to Hall’s notion of treason as a means of peace. A closing onscreen note tells us that “This film is dedicated to all those who have risked their lives for peace.
