I Have Tourette's But Tourette's Doesn't Have Me
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Have Tourette's But Tourette's Doesn't Have Me is an Emmy Award-winning documentary film featuring children between the ages of six and thirteen with Tourette syndrome. The film examines the lives of more than a dozen children who have Tourette's, and explores the challenges they face. Described by the Cincinnati Enquirer as "the best simple overview yet of Tourette's", it portrays "thoughtful and eloquent observations" of children coping with the condition.[1]
The 27-minute television documentary was produced by HBO in conjunction with the Tourette Syndrome Association, and first aired on HBO in November, 2005. Ellen Goosenberg Kent is the director and producer, and Sheila Nevins is the executive producer.[2]
