Biographical Comedy Drama
Cert: 15
UK 2025 120 mins (plus an intermission of 15 mins)
Director: Kirk Jones
Starring: Robert Aramayo, Maxine Peake, Peter Mullan & Shirley Henderson
From writer and director Kirk Jones, I SWEAR tells the inspirational true story of John Davidson and his journey from misunderstood teenager to one of Britain’s leading advocates for people with Tourette syndrome.
Growing up in 1980s Scotland, John’s life changes when he develops uncontrollable physical and vocal tics. Diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of 15, he faces ridicule, hostility and isolation from those who do not understand his condition.
With the support of those who see the person behind the symptoms, John begins to accept himself and finds a new purpose: challenging prejudice and campaigning for greater understanding of Tourette syndrome.
Winner of two BAFTA awards, including Leading Actor for Robert Aramayo and Casting. Aramayo also won the publicly voted EE Rising Star Award.
The film will be shown with an intermission with the bar and ice creams available.
A deft balance of prickly and sweet that's bound together by Robert Aramayo's knockout performance, I Swear doesn't sugarcoat the challenges of Tourette syndrome while delivering an uplifting tale of resilience.
