STOP PRESS:
Robert Aramayo wins Best Actor BAFTA for this role!

These three screenings in March have been added after the film's BAFTA success. This is 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.

In Detail

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.

This heart-warming film includes a supporting cast of Britain’s best: the always brilliant Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson, and Cannes Best Actor Award winner & Golden Lion winner Peter Mullan.

Aramayo has recently won the Best Actor award for this role at the BAFTAs as well as the BIFAs (British Independent Film Awards).
