Tourette Syndrome: I Swear It's Not a Joke | Rachel Forrester-Jones | TEDxBathUniversity
Directed by Kirk Jones ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2"), who returns for his first feature film in eight years, "I Swear" tells the story of Tourette's Syndrome campaigner John Davidson. Filming recently wrapped in Scotland.
“I Swear” follows Davidson’s journey with Tourette syndrome through his troubled teenage years and early adulthood, after being diagnosed at age 15 in the 1980s in Britain – a time when the condition was little-known and widely misunderstood.
"Considered insane by his peers and living with a condition few have ever experienced, Davidson tries against all odds to live a 'normal' life," the synopsis reads.
