Have a story to tell? Young voices wanted for a powerful new documentary on Tourette syndrome
Tourettes Action has teamed up with ITV and award-winning production company 72 Films to develop a new documentary series focusing on young people living with Tourette syndrome.
Former Top Gear host Freddie Flintoff is set to front: Freddie Flintoff: Understanding Tourette's, which has been inspired by BAFTA-winning film I Swear and will see the 48-year-old presenter exploring the impact the condition has on those who live with it.
The series will follow individuals and their families from across the UK, offering an authentic insight into the realities of life with Tourette’s and the challenges and experiences faced by those affected.
As part of the project, the team is keen to hear from young people aged 21 or under who have recently been diagnosed, are currently undergoing assessment, or are at an early stage in their Tourette’s journey and awaiting diagnosis.
Anyone interested in taking part, or in learning more, is invited to register their interest via this contact form.
Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the form on their behalf.
