I Swear

Event information

Presented in association with Borderlines Film Festival

I Swear dramatises the true story of John Davidson, a troubled Scottish teenager in the 1980s, whose ambitions to be a goalkeeper are disrupted by odd tics and strange behaviour until he’s finally diagnosed at 15 with Tourette’s Syndrome. We see how he navigates life with this much misunderstood condition, which often involves involuntary shouting of obscenities, lashings out and consequent trouble. Meanwhile, it is through the kindness of others that Davidson discovers his great purpose in life. Inspiring, funny and devastating in equal measure with a stunning performance by Robert Aramayo.
