Academy Award®-winner Bill Condon turns the microscope on Alfred Kinsey in a portrait of a man driven to uncover the most private secrets of a nation. What began for Kinsey (Liam Neeson) as a scientific endeavour soon took on an intensely personal relevance - and ultimately an unexpected journey into the mysteries of human behaviour. In 1948, Kinsey irrevocably changed American culture with his book 'Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male'. Using the technique of his own famous sex interviews, Kinsey was inspired to explore the emotionally-charged subject of sex from a strictly scientific point of view. To do this he recruited a team of researchers, including Clyde Martin (Peter Sarsgaard), Wardell Pomeroy (Chris O'Donnell) and Paul Genhard (Timothy Hutton). With time and experience, Kinsey and his team developed an interviewing technique which helped people to break through shame, fear and guilt to speak freely about their sexual histories. Interviewing thousands of people about the most intimate aspects of their lives, Kinsey lifted the weight of secrecy and shame from a society in which sexual practices were mostly hidden. Kinsey's controversial work sparked one of the most intense cultural debates of the past century. Indeed, the ongoing work of the Kinsey Institute remains contentious in the USA today.
