Plot summary
With nine #1 albums to his name, Jimmy Barnes is one of Australia’s greatest rock icons. But his success masked a life of hardship and abuse, where the music that once saved him from oblivion almost came back to destroy him. Before Jimmy Barnes was Jimmy Barnes, he was James Dixon Swan, a troubled kid from the mean streets of Glasgow – and the even meaner streets of North Adelaide – trying to survive against a backdrop of addiction, alcoholism, poverty and abuse. For Jimmy, escape was the only option and he found it with a band called Cold Chisel. But the rock’n’roll lifestyle has its own temptations and the scars of childhood are always waiting to take you home. Based on the bestselling memoir and directed by veteran Australian filmmaker Mark Joffe, Working Class Boy is both an inspiring story of rock and redemption told in Barnes’ own words and an unflinchingly honest reflection on fame, creativity and depression.

Thanks for the upload Freeman ! Didnt think this would even be a consideration to be uploaded here seeing as Jimmy is purely an Aussie rock legend. Highly recommend other people in other countries watch this biopic doco! But if you really want to see how hard the man was, search for Cold Chisel in the early years on youtube. Long live Jimmy Barnes & Cold Chisel :)
Please these movies!!!:Riding The Bullet Stephen King,Calendar Girl Jason Priestley,Coming Soon Thai Audio,Dark Water japanese audio,Billy Crystal Mr. Saturday Night,On The Line With Lance Bass from N'Sync,The Dancer (2000) Luc Besson.
The book was bloody brilliant, so this doco, you'll love it if you're a Barnsey fan!

Never heard of this guy. But, as a Glaswegian, it is always nice to see archive footage of our City - even the darkest stuff and what people had to live in, live through and how it built their Character - fom Billy Connolly to people I've never even herad of - Like Jimmy. COYBIG - HAIl HAIL!!!
