PREVIEW: The Last Spy (2026 Documentary) from Katharina Otto-Bernstein

Preview by Jon Donnis

Dogwoof has released the trailer for The Last Spy, a new feature documentary from Katharina Otto-Bernstein, set to arrive in select cinemas and on digital on 24 April 2026.

The film follows Peter Sichel, a former CIA spymaster who, at 100 years old, reflects on a life shaped by secrets, covert operations and geopolitical intrigue. The trailer points to a story that moves from Berlin to Washington, and across Iran, Latin America, Indonesia and China, suggesting a wide-reaching account of his experiences.

What is clear from this first look is that Sichel is offering a direct reflection on loyalty and truth, while revisiting moments defined by moral dilemmas. The film presents him as someone looking back with clarity, while also challenging the past and what can be learned from it.

The Last Spy is framed as a rare portrait of a figure who has lived through significant global events, while still holding on to his sense of humanity. As the trailer suggests, this is a story not just about what happened, but about facing the future with the lessons of the past firmly in view.

THE LAST SPY IS IN SELECT CINEMAS AND ON DEMAND FROM 24 APRIL www.thelastspy.film
