| In LIFE’S A TWITCH!, we meet Duncan McKinlay. He has Tourette Syndrome and his life is accented with an ongoing stream of uncontrollable physical and vocal explosions. But he’s found a way of turning a serious life challenge into a way of making a difference. Director Cindy Bisaillon and producer Tina Hahn have crafted a fine expose on a charming and vibrant recent Ph.D. recipient who has found a way to overcome the challenges of Tourette Syndrome, and has channelled it into a positive force of public education and enlightenment. LIFE’S A TWITCH! is a 30-minute documentary which was made with the support of the Ontario Media Development Corporation’s Documentary Calling Card shorts. |
