| Abstract | "This moving program paints a vivid picture of life with Tourette's syndrome through the experiences of 8-year-old Greg Storey and of 30-year-old John Davidson, whose symptoms at 16 are compared to his current symptoms through documentary footage shot at the time. The camera sympathetically captures these two outgoing and articulate patients at home, at school or work, and around town as they talk about the disorder's alienating impact on their lives and how they cope with the tics they must endure. John's mother, Greg's mother and father, and the headmaster of the Woodleigh School, which Greg attends, offer their perspectives as well."--container. |
