TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE

Not just a classic father-son struggle, TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE features the great cinematographer Haskell Wexler, still feisty and uncompromising at age 80, and his photojournalist son, Mark. Born into a wealthy family in Chicago, the elder Wexler began dissenting at an early age (even leading a strike at his own father?s factory). He was, in a sense, against everything. Having established himself in Hollywood by the mid-1960s, Wexler was making as many enemies as friends, being hired and fired from films (most famously ?One Flew Over the Cuckoo?s Nest?) and positioning himself in leftist politics. His son Mark, predictably, is quieter and conservative, and the making of this film is as conflicting as it is therapeutic for the two men. With comments by Sidney Poitier, Jane Fonda, Conrad Hall, Milos Forman, Billy Crystal, John Sayles and more.
