Among the telling facts that emerge from "Tell Them Who You Are," photojournalist Mark S. Wexler's documentary about his dad, legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler, is that when Haskell was young he helped organize a strike by workers in his father's own factory. Another equally telling fact is that Mark, the son of one of Hollywood's most notable left-wingers, is politically conservative and more than willing to goad his father by giving him a framed photo of himself with the first President Bush. The film is less a documentary about Haskell Wexler than a complex portrait of a most difficult father-son relationship, one in which a son struggles his whole life to step out from his father's domineering shadow.
