Drawn in by Fidel Castro’s revolution - Seeking to understand her dad led filmmaker Vivien Lesnik Weisman to learn about herself as well. ‘The Man of Two of Two Havanas’ is the result.

Vivien Lesnik Weisman counted herself among that rare breed — a Cuban American not interested in politics — when she started to make a documentary about her father, a quixotic revolutionary-in-exile. In the opening of her new movie, “The Man of Two Havanas,” the fledgling filmmaker minces no words about Max Lesnik’s comrades, including Fidel Castro, and the lost causes he has championed under both communism and capitalism.

“They stole my father’s attention and they wasted his life, and I hated them for it,” says Lesnik Weisman, 47, in her slightly quirky but moving portrait. “I’ve spent my whole life watching him lose, and I just didn’t get it.”"*
