Funny, honest and deeply human, I Swear is based on the life of John Davidson, a Tourette's syndrome activist. It shows his teenage years in 1980s Scotland—a time when the condition was poorly understood, and covers his struggles through early adulthood, how he turned ridicule into resilience, and his later work advocating for better awareness and acceptance of Tourette's. Star Robert Aramayo clinched the BAFTA awards for best actor and best newcomer. –AS
