John's Not Mad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John's Not Mad was a QED documentary made by the BBC in 1989. It was ranked, in a British public poll, as one of 50 Greatest Documentaries.
The film shadows John Davidson, a fifteen year old from Galashiels in Scotland, who has severe Tourette syndrome. John's life is explored in terms of his family and the close-knit community around him, and how they all cope with a misunderstood condition.
The documentary achieved a cult status soon after it was first aired and, contrary to the "possible good intentions of the film crew", is seen by some as a comedic masterpiece. [1]
