I Swear

Based on a remarkable true story, this critically acclaimed Scottish drama follows John Davidson from Galashiels, whose severe Tourette's syndrome made him the subject of a groundbreaking 1989 documentary. The film charts his journey from a bullied schoolboy to an MBE-winning campaigner who has transformed public understanding of the condition.

Robert Aramayo delivers an outstanding performance as the adult John, supported by Maxine Peake and Peter Mullan in this frank, funny and deeply moving film. Despite the challenges John faces, this is ultimately an uplifting story about resilience, acceptance and the power of community support.

Please note: The film contains strong language throughout, which is an authentic representation of Tourette's syndrome and central to John's story. The language is not gratuitous but reflects the reality of living with this neurological condition.

With a rare 100% critics' rating and described as "a triumph of storytelling and compassion," this is an opportunity to see one of the year's most talked-about British films – one that entertains whilst fostering genuine understanding.
