The inspirational true story of a swimmer's quest for Olympic gold, Swimming Upstream is a gripping tale of emotional triumph. Academy Award winner (1996: Actor, Shine) Geoffrey Rush and Academy Award nominee (1992: Supporting Actress, Husbands and Wives; 1994: Actress, A Passage To India) Judy Davis deliver terrific performances in this haunting meditation on dreams, determination and defeating the odds.

As the target of his father Harold's (Rush - Pirates of the Caribbean) drunken abuse, young Tony Fingleton (Jesse Spencer - TV's 'Neighbours') escapes to the underwater solitude of the local pool, where he aspires to win Harold's love by become 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.
