Based on an inspirational true story, this 2025 film charts the remarkable journey of a Scottish man whose life was irrevocably changed by the sudden onset of Tourette’s syndrome.
Tourette is a disorder of the nervous system that causes abnormal and involuntary movements. It named after the French neurologist who studied the syndrome, Georges Gilles de la Tourette (1857-1904). The exact cause of Tourette’s is unknown, but it is well established that both genetic and environmental factors are involved. There is no cure for Tourette’s and no single most effective medication.
A bright, funny, football-mad lad with everything ahead of him, 15-year-old John Davidson’s life seemingly splinters in 1983 when he develops uncontrollable vocal and physical tics at a time when Tourette’s was barely understood, even by doctors.
