I Swear is the inspiring, extraordinary life story of notable Tourette’s Syndrome campaigner, John Davidson, MBE,

Playing Davidson is Robert Aramayo (a fan favourite for his recurring performances in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and HBO’s Game of Thrones, Dance First, Behind Her Eyes), with supporting cast including British stage and screen performer Maxine Peake (Silk, The Theory of Everything, Funny Cow, Shameless), Scottish BAFTA-winning Shirley Henderson (upcoming Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Harry Potter franchise, Trainspotting) and veteran Scottish actor and Cannes Best Actor Award winner & Golden Lion winner Peter Mullan (War Horse, The Magdalene Sisters, Children of Men). The production worked closely with the Tourette’s community, casting individuals who live with Tourette’s.

Jones’ emotionally engaging, funny and compelling script charts John Davidson’s troubled teens and early adulthood, stemming from his diagnosis at 15 years old for Tourette’s, which was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain. Targeted as insane by his peers, Davidson lives with a condition few have ever witnessed, as he attempts to live a ‘normal’ life against the odds.

I Swear will world premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival on the 7th September 2025 and then release in UK cinemas on the 10th October 2025 and then worldwide in 2025 / 2026.
