Notes for Judging: Tourette’s is one of the UK’s most misunderstood neurological conditions. It’s too often treated as a punchline, reduced to “the swearing disorder". In reality, swearing only manifests in 10% of cases. But in every case, people have to deal with ignorance, mockery and avoidance.

To shift perception from joke to empathy, we reimagined Misunderstood, originally performed by Nina Simone, through the voices of people living with the condition. Fronted by singer Grace Cope, an up-and-coming singer with the condition and backed by a choir made up entirely of those with Tourette’s, the film follows a day shaped by judgement and isolation, replacing stereotype with humanity, and explanation with emotion.
