Twitch and Shout
Laurel Chiten | USA | 1994 | 59 min. | documentary video

This fascinating documentary takes the viewer on an intimate journey into the startling world of Tourette Syndrome (TS), a genetic disorder that can cause a bizarre range of involuntary movements, obscene vocalizations and compulsions. Dramatic, heart-felt, and above all, humorous, Twitch and Shout challenges the definition of what it means to be "normal."

Shown at the 1995 Human Rights Watch Festival. Distributed by Laurel Chiten, Educational - New Day, 185 Morrison Ave., Somerville, MA 02144, Tel: (617) 625 3169 Fax: (617) 625 6490.
