Seeing Geoffrey Rush play his father Harold in "Swimming Upstream", written and co-produced by his brother Tony, was the catalyst for John Fingleton to uncover the story no one had told, of what made his father the man he was. Nothing could have prepared him for what he discovered.
From abused child to rebellious orphan, larrikin street fighter to gifted sportsman, prisoner to alcoholic, from unlikely role model to a group of street kids to murder suspect and finally a man transformed by the love of a strong woman, this is Harold Fingleton's herartbreaking and powerful story.
