Blue Fox Entertainment Canada today announced that the critically-acclaimed Scottish drama I SWEAR – which first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year – will be released in select theatres across Canada on April 24, 2026.
I SWEAR is the powerful true-life story of Tourette Syndrome campaigner John Davidson. In a funny and moving account of his experiences, the story follows John throughout his adolescence and early adulthood and explores what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain.
I SWEAR was a six-time nominee and three-time winner at the BAFTAs this past February, winning Best Casting as well as both the Best Leading Actor and EE Rising Star prizes for Robert Aramayo (Game of Thrones, Rings of Power) and his portrayal of John Davidson. The film was written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kirk Jones, whose previous work includes Waking Ned Devine, Nanny McPhee, Everybody’s Fine, and What to Expect When You’re Expecting.
Blue Fox Entertainment Canada will release I SWEAR throughout most of Canada, with Immina Films handling distribution in Quebec, while Sony Pictures Classics is releasing the film in the U.S.
I SWEAR is set to arrive in select theatres across North America on April 24, 2026.
