| Summary: | They blink, they grimace, they jerk, they moan. No matter how hard they try, their bodies, minds, and voices won't do what they're told. People with Tourette Syndrome (TS) , a rare and incurable genetic disorder, are the subject of this irreverently titled film. A riveting, unsettling, and frequently funny inside look at what it's like to live with this often misunderstood neurological condition. "A powerful blend of drama, humour and heart. It is a fascinating glipse into the lives of people who must present a face to the world that doesn't always tally with their own sense of self." - The Boston Globe. "A remarkable, enlightening and compact piece of work." - NY Daily News. * Gold Apple Award - National Educational Media Network * Award Of Excellence - American Medical Writers Association * Outstanding Independent Video Award, New England Film and Video Festival * 1996 Emmy Award Nominee |
