"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"I Swear is a crowdpleaser that doesn't make a spectacle out of its subject, nor mines the darker chapters of their life for tearjerking sentimentality. It stars The Rings of Power's Robert Aramayo as Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson. The world of his childhood, in Galashiels, Scotland of the Eighties, was one with little concept of the neurodevelopmental disorder, which manifests as a spectrum of tics."
"One day, he's a kid (played brilliantly by Scott Ellis Watson) dreaming about becoming a football superstar; the next, he can barely make it through a Yeats poem in class without his body and mind rebelling against him. The film opens decades later, in 2018, as Davidson receives his MBE at Holyrood Palace for his efforts in educating the public about the disorder. He approaches the dais. F*** the Queen! It's a funny scene. We're invited to laugh."
The Independent reports on reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech across the United States, investigating issues such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls, relying on donations to fund reporters who speak to both sides of stories. The film I Swear stars Robert Aramayo as Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson, tracing his childhood in 1980s Galashiels and portraying the disorder's spectrum of tics that disrupted schooling and culminated in a controversial, humorous moment at his MBE ceremony.
