Description:

"My dad spent 23 years in prison. He started off as a Cuban Revolutionary and later ended up a convicted felon in the United States. We only talked once in the last 16 years. Then, out of the blue I got an email from him. He wrote, I'm home. Your biological father, Hector.'"

Jeanine went to meet Hector and recorded the meeting. Then, with producer Viki Merrick, she told the remarkable story of their relationship, forged in the imagination, built on disappointment and hope.
