Synopsis
Now a major new film production from Studio Canal comes "I Swear", the powerful new biopic of Scottish Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson MBE.
Before the world knew his name, the nation was gripped by one of the most talked-about documentaries in BBC history — John’s Not Mad.
This groundbreaking and unforgettable QED programme follows 15-year-old John from Galashiels as he lives with the most severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome. Raw, moving and inspiring, it reveals how John, his family and his community faced the challenges of his extreme condition head-on.
Frequently cited as the most requested and infamous QED film of all time, John’s Not Mad is presented here with footage from the 2002 follow-up The Boy Can’t Help It, where a 31-year-old John reflects on the profound impact the original documentary had on his life.
Revisit the documentary that sparked a national conversation — and discover the remarkable true story behind I Swear.
