About Why I Swam Upstream

Documentary

Synopsis

Igor S. Kon was a prominent Soviet and Russian sociologist, psychologist, and educator. He pioneered sex education in the USSR, worked extensively with teenagers and queer people, and supported those affected by the HIV epidemic. Despite living through times of repression and censorship, Igor S. Kon never gave up his scientific and educational work, and defended the ideas of individual freedom, equality, and tolerance until his final days.
