I Swear is a funny, compassionate and moving account of the experiences of real-life activist John Davidson, who was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of 15. He overcame many hardships from adolescence and early adulthood as a result of what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain.
Written and directed by BAFTA-nominated filmmaker Kirk Jones, the film features impressive performances from Robert Aramayo (in the lead role), three-time BAFTA nominee Maxine Peake, BAFTA-winner Shirley Henderson, and Cannes Best Actor Award winner & Golden Lion winner Peter Mullan.
