"Funny, fierce and full of heart" - The Guardian

I Swear is a frank, funny and powerful new film inspired by the life and experiences of John Davidson, MBE (Robert Aramayo), charting his journey from a misunderstood teenager in 1980’s Britain to present day advocate for the understanding and acceptance of Tourette Syndrome.

Diagnosed aged 15, John navigates his way against the odds through troubled teenage years and into adulthood, finding inspiration in the kindness of others to discover his true purpose in life. 

As well as being named Best Actor for his portrayal of John Davidson, Aramayo also took home the Rising Star award at this year's BAFTAs.

Presented in partnership with Bristol Disability Equality Forum (BDEF)
