The true story of John Davidson; diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome at a young age which alienated him from his peers, he struggled with a condition few people had witnessed.
At age 15, John Davidson (Robert Aramayo) faced and overcame many hardships from adolescence and early adulthood, as a result of what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980’s Britain. Targeted as insane by his peers, Davidson lived with a condition few had ever witnessed, as he attempted to live a ‘normal’ life against the odds. Written and directed by Kirk Jones (‘Waking Ned’, ‘Nanny McPhee’), this is a heart-warming film that will surely prove popular with filmgoers. The supporting cast includes some of Britain’s best: the always brilliant Maxine Peake (The Theory of Everything), Shirley Henderson (‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’, ‘Trainspotting’), and Cannes Best Actor Award winner & Golden Lion winner Peter Mullan (‘War Horse’).
