Wreckage of My Past: The Story of Ozzy Osbourne is a 2010 documentary based on the life of Ozzy Osbourne. Unlike the humorous reality show the Osbourne family starred in, the documentary focuses on Osbourne's career, health issues and his struggle with drug and alcohol addiction. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/BLABBERMOUTH.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=120250
The film, executive produced by his son Jack Osbourne, is intended to be a deeper look at the complexity of Osbourne. In an interview, Jack said he wants people to see his father as "the guy I grew up with, the tormented, complex musician whose personal demons manifest themselves in so many crazy, unique ways."http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=124443
Production of Ozzy's Documentary
Wreckage of My Past was financed by Ozzy's son, Jack Osbourne, and his wife/manager Sharon Osbourne. Jack Osbourne was the executive producer of the film and Wreckage of My Past is his company Jacko Productions' first film release.
In an interview the RollingStone.com, Jack Osbourne said, "The hard thing is getting people to be honest and not have it be a fluff piece, because that's not what we're trying to do. I'm trying to paint a realistic picture of who my father is. I think 'The Osbournes', to a degree, tarnished the public's perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it's not him. I think that almost discredited who he is as an artist. My dad's not an idiot — he's nothing short of a genius, in my opinion. He does have huge flaws, and we're trying to really paint an honest picture of that."http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=124443
