Synopsis:



Against All Odds, He Found The Strength To Become A Champion.

The inspirational true story of a swimmer's quest for Olympic gold, Swimming Upstream is a "gripping" (The New York Times) tale of emotional triumph. Academy AwardŽ winner* Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis deliver "terrific performances" (New York Post) in this haunting meditation on dreams, determination and defeating the odds.

As the target of his father Harold's (Rush) drunken abuse, young Tony Fingleton (Jesse Spencer) escapes to the underwater solitude of the local pool, where he aspires to win his father's love by becoming a national swimming champion. But when his cruel father pits Tony against his own brother in a competition to make the Olympic team, Tony must find the courage to swim his way to victory-and out of his father's emotionally crippling net.
