About this episode

This week on Screentime John Fardy talks to actor Robert Aramayo and Writer and Director Kirk Jones about their new film ‘I Swear’ which tells the heart-warming, sad and sometimes funny story of John Davidson who, diagnosed with Tourette’s at age 15, faced and overcame many hardships from adolescence and early adulthood as a result of what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain. Chris Wasser reviews the week’s new cinema releases including ‘The Smashing Machine’ and Jim Sheridan’s new film ‘Re-creation’.
