A fan funded documentary about the healing power of laughter, courage, and the road to understanding.
Watch the Trailer
A 90-minute documentary following Jeanna DiVietro — a fast-talking, big-hearted Uber driver with Tourette Syndrome — as she embarks on a vulnerable and laughter-filled road trip across the Midwest and South.
This isn’t just a road trip. It’s a movement to show that honesty, humor, and human connection can change the way the world sees Tourette’s.
Meet Jeanna
Jeanna is not your average Uber driver.
A natural storyteller and advocate, she’s been using her platform to spread awareness about Tourette’s with viral success online. Her charisma and candor make her the kind of personality viewers root for—and return to week after week.
