Editorial Reviews:

Synopsis 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 Award 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.. LA RIVALIDAD DE DOS HERMANOS EN BUSCA DEL TRIUNFO Y DEL CARIÑO DE SUS PADRES. Basada en la vida del reconocido atleta australiano Tony Fingleton, EL CAMPEÓN es un emotivo e inspirador relato que habla acerca de la lucha de un hijo por obtener el reconocimiento de su frustrado padre. Constantemente menospreciado por éste, Tony descubre en la natación la mejor oportunidad para ganarse su respeto. En una familia destrozada por el alcoholismo, Tony encuentra en su hermano menor al mejor amigo, pero también, al más peligroso rival, cuando su padre decide ponerlos a competir entre ellos, destruyendo con esto aún más, los lazos familiares. Tony eventualmente descubrirá que la aprobación de un padre no es lo único importante en la vida, aunque para ello, deba sacrificar casi todo.
