I Swear is a 2025 British biographical drama film directed, written, and produced by Kirk Jones. It is based on the true life story of John Davidson, a Scottish man with severe Tourette's syndrome, and follows his life primarily following the 1989 television documentary John's Not Mad, at a time when his condition was barely identifiable. The film stars Robert Aramayo as Davidson, alongside Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullan in supporting roles.
Kirk Jones's I Swear (2025) is a thoughtful film about shame, lifted by humor, intimacy, and quiet emotional honesty.
