Funny, heartfelt and emphatically moving, I Swear dramatises the true story of Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson and his quest to live normally in a world that insisted on calling him different.

Diagnosed aged 15, John’s Tourette’s made him the target of huge misunderstanding in 1980s Britain, and he faced hostility, bullying and violence for much of his youth. Aged 16, he was the subject of BBC TV documentary John’s Not Mad and subsequently became one of the UK’s most passionate advocates for greater awareness and acceptance of Tourette’s, for which work he received an MBE in 2019.

Written and directed by Kirk Jones (Waking Ned, Nanny McPhee) and featuring a deeply committed performance from Robert Aramayo (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) alongside supporting turns from Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullan, I Swear promises a powerful look at an astonishing life and the wit, grit and resolve that saw Davidson define himself on his own terms.
