A Year in Zach’s Head | The Worst Case of Tourette’s in America

Video Description

The Boy Inside: Trapped By Tourettes follows an extraordinary year in the life of Zach Lamb, a teenager living with one of the most severe cases of Tourette’s Syndrome in America. His uncontrollable twitches, violent physical outbursts, and constant vocal tics are escalating — putting his body, his family, and his future at risk. Filmmaker Aaron Lewis captures Zach’s daily struggle with heartbreaking intimacy, showing a young mind trapped in chaos, and a mother’s fierce devotion pushed to its limits. As Zach’s behavior becomes more extreme and dangerous, his family is forced to consider a radical solution: experimental brain surgery. But what if it changes who he is forever — or worse? This powerful and deeply human story is not just about a medical disorder, but about survival, love, sacrifice, and the desperate search for peace inside a storm.
