I Swear

The touching true story of Tourette’s Syndrome campaigner John Davidson and his journey from alienated ‘troubled teen’ to becoming a rallying point for change.

Bold, poignant, and infused with unexpected humour, I SWEAR tells the extraordinary story of John Davidson, a young man whose life takes a sharp turn in the 1980s when he begins to experience the sudden onset of Tourette’s syndrome.

At a time when the condition was largely unrecognised and misunderstood, John’s world expands in ways that few could imagine. His unfiltered voice, once seen as disruptive, becomes a rallying point for understanding and change, carving out a space where honesty, individuality, and courage shine through.

Robert Aramayo embodies John with remarkable energy and depth, capturing the raw humanity of a figure who insists on being heard.
