Long before Cold Chisel, long before 'Barnsey' there was the true story of James Dixon Swan. A major feature documentary on the early life of Australia's biggest Rockstar – Jimmy Barnes. Based on his #1 bestselling book, Working Class Boy.

Ratings and reviews

One of the most raw and emotion charged musician documentaries I've seen. Jimmy holds nothing back and gives you a very blunt look at the lives children of his generation and background lived, alongside his own personal circumstances. You're left feeling immensely proud of his accomplishments and the courage he has to look his past trauma, and his past failings right in the face - and then share it with the world.

The very 'aussie rock narrative' of form, and, decades long cultural aesthetic. Indelible memories.

Jimmy Barnes, how is this man still popular? Probably the worst singer/shouter around!
