““The Man of Two Havanas” is a new documentary about Max Lesnik. Lesnik was a close friend of Fidel Castro’s who was exiled to the U.S. following a public disagreement over Cuba’s ties to the Soviet Union. But instead of joining Castro’s right-wing Cuban-American opponents, Lesnik became an outspoken critic of the U.S. embargo and covert warfare to bring down the Cuban government. For his views he was the target of several attacks that nearly cost him his life. In a moment we’ll hear from Max Lesnick and his daughter Vivien Lesnik Weisman, director of the “The Man of Two Havanas.” But first, a preview of the film.”*
