Sylvia: Tracing Blood plot

Sylvia Raphael was a secret agent for the Mossad, the Israeli secret service. This documentary is about her life as a spy. She was born in Cape Town, South Africa to a Jewish father and an African mother. After working as a secret agent for the Mossad, she infiltrated Israel's enemies. She was ordered to kill Ahmed Bouchikhi. Ahmed is the brother of Chico Bouchikhi, co-founder of the music group The Gipsy Kings. The attack was a mistake, it turned out later. The Mossad had mistaken the target. The incident became known as the Lillehammer affair. With testimonies from friends, family and loved ones, filmmaker Saxon Logon paints a detailed picture of this spy.
