The writer and director of I Swear has said Tourette’s activist John Davidson was “let down on many, many levels” after the BBC’s broadcast of the Baftas included him involuntarily shouting a racial slur.
Mr Davidson – whose life inspired the hit film – was in attendance at Sunday (22 February) night’s awards ceremony, where I Swear won two accolades, including Best Actor for Robert Aramayo, who played the campaigner.
