Twitch and Shout

"What a wonderful, compassionate, funny, instructive, inspiring and flat-out brilliant documentary...

Twitch and Shout is an hour likely to change your opinions, or change you, period. It doesn't get much better than this."
–David Bianculli
The New York Daily News full review

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

Twitch and Shout provides an intimate journey into the startling world of Tourette Syndrome (TS) told through the eyes of a photojournalist with TS. An emotionally absorbing, sometimes unsettling, and ultimately uplifting film about people who must contend with a society that often sees them as crazy or bad--and a body and mind that won't do what it's told.
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder that can cause a bizarre range of involuntary movements, obscene vocalizations and compulsions.

REVIEWS

The Boston Globe Magazine
full review

"It enlightens us--in the full meaning of the word--by throwing the light of understanding on what we don't know and therefore fear. Highly recommended. Editors choice."
Video Librarian

"A gem of a film which conveys the human side of Tourette Syndrome in a way that no textbook ever can. I will continue to use it as a key teaching tool in my courses."
Edward A. Kravitz
Professor, Harvard Medical School
