I Swear
I blink. I twitch. I jump. I click. I whistle. I shout.
Diagnosed with Tourette’s at 15, targeted as ‘insane’ by his peers, John Davidson struggled with a condition few had witnessed. Campaigning for better understanding and acceptance of the condition of Tourette’s as an adult, he finds his life’s purpose and accepted his MBE from the Queen in 2019.
“As real-life Tourette’s activist John Davidson, Robert Aramayo gives an astonishing performance that hits you like a shot in the heart.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)
“In a season of superhero movies, this one rings truest.” (The Saturday Evening Post)
“‘I Swear’ is an absolute gem of a film. It is a plea for kindness and patience in a world that diminishes and undermines those qualities every day.” (NZ Herald)
“It’s not entirely fair to call I Swear a PSA for inclusion. Above all, it is the story of a man who overcame an extraordinary set of odds to build a simple but meaningful life for himself and foster understanding in others. “ (Globe and Mail)
