I Wasn't Really Naked

The incredible spy thriller inspired by Josephine Baker’s Secret war against the Nazis.

In 1925, racism and a burgeoning career overseas, drove nineteen-year-old Josephine Baker to leave America and move to Paris, where she soon became a huge hit - singing, dancing and staring in movies.

By 1937, her wild performances had become legendary, and her eccentric personal life was the talk of Paris and beyond. She was the highest paid performer in all of Europe and publicly ambivalent about the war raging around her. But Josephine knew what hatred and bigotry looked like. So, when a handsome fugitive showed up at her doorstep one night, running from the Nazis, she joined him and the French Resistance, using her celebrity to spy behind enemy lines.

At first, she carried secret messages gleaned from high-ranking French or Nazi admirers. But her clandestine work quickly escalated into a dangerous race to help America, the country she hated for its bigotry, prepare for its first mass mobilization of WWII.
