You will not break me. To live another day, is to fight another day. I will survive for the future of my country and my family. Failure is not an option. They will kill me in the end. I know they will. But there is still the hope this will get out for me, my family and my country. If I'm caught they will shoot me, no trial (definitely not it's probably to much of them to give me a bed!) I am living on borrowed time! This is the inspirational story of Noor Inayat Khan. A princess, a spy. Based on true events in her life. This is her story of how she made it to France, where she was captured and later faced her death. The first women in France.
