In the 2020 film "A Call to Spy," a historical drama set in 1941 World War II and based on real accounts, "Winston Churchill, desperate in the losing fight against the Nazis, has ordered the recruitment and training of women spies... the women shine in the field and, in the face of danger and unexpected betrayal, prove themselves as assets to the French resistance."[4] Seeing as how Donovan's time in England and his introduction by Churchill to Britain's intelligence forces led to his advocacy for a central intelligence agency in the U.S., it can be derived that the diversity of peoples, including the white women and women of color portrayed in the film, who were British secret agents influenced Donovan's perception that anyone could be a spy.
