About The Film - I SWEAR is the inspiring, extraordinary life story of notable Tourette Syndrome campaigner, John Davidson, MBE. The film won three BAFTA film awards this year including Best Actor Robert Aramayo. Director Kirk Jones’ emotionally engaging, funny and compelling script charts John Davidson’s Tourette's diagnosis at the age of 15 years old. Set within 1980s Britain, the story follows him throughout his troubled teens and early adulthood, and explores this little known and entirely misunderstood condition, along with his attempts to live a ‘normal’ life against the odds.

In addition to Robert Aramayo (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), the film stars Peter Mullen (War Horse), Maxines Peake (The Theory of Everything) and Shirley Henderson (Bridget Jones' series).

John Davidson was diagnosed with Tourette’s at a time when there was no information available to the public regarding the condition. His parents were at a loss about how to deal with the developing symptoms which only contributed to his difficulties in learning to live with the condition. 
 
With help from Dottie, a friend’s mother, John was eventually able to secure work as a handyman as well as his own accommodation. While still a teenager, John was the subject of a BBC documentary which was widely viewed and greatly contributed to public awareness of Tourette’s Syndrome. He has participated in several follow-up documentaries as an adult. 
 
Over the past thirty-five years, John has also been heavily involved in supporting children and adults with Tourette’s, and creating and running Tourette’s Syndrome support groups in Scotland. 

In 2019, John was awarded an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in recognition of this work. 

I SWEAR opens in theaters on April 24. For more information about the film, visit ISwearMovie.com.
