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.'

Hear more from Ieva on the Outlook podcast ‘Secrets & Lies: The undercover operatives’.
