Ieva Lesinska: ‘I discovered my father was a spy’

As a young woman, Ieva Lesinska was faced with an agonising choice – betray her father, or leave her mother, friends and homeland of Latvia behind forever.

A film has now been made about her experience, it’s called: ‘My Father, the Spy.’

Ieva tells her story as part of the Secrets and Lies series on Outlook, BBC World Service here.
