Back on Track - New Beginning with Bushido - Trustworthy Mentor in new Document Series
One can only take control of their future and realize their dreams once they have dealt with their past, explains Bushido (45) at the beginning of his new documentary series.
In "Back on Track - New Beginning with Bushido" (available from July 23rd on Amazon Freevee), the rapper helps young people overcome past burdens and look forward. This includes those who have suffered from anorexia or panic attacks, grown up at home or in a sect. Following "Uncensored - Bushido's Truth", "Bushido: RESET", and "Bushido & Anna-Maria - All About Family", "Back on Track" is already the fourth documentary format featuring the musician. However, this time, Bushido is more of a mentor for the young protagonists.
In the first episode, Bushido supports the 20-year-old Iman. He grew up in a foster home and has never met his biological parents. His mother died three years ago, and since then, he has had no contact with the family. Iman's greatest wish is to meet his biological father. Bushido helps him gain the courage to take this step.
"I am your father": The ending feels a bit intrusive
The first episode of "Back on Track" is less sugary or emotionally charged than the beginning suggests. However, the ending feels a bit intrusive. Without his knowledge and without warning, Iman is confronted with his biological father. His father introduces himself with the "Star Wars" phrase "I am your father." Despite this unexpected encounter, it turns out to be a happy ending for all involved. Bushido is pleased with the outcome.
Growing up without a father: Bushido shares his experience
Bushido is self-aware and keeps a respectful distance when it comes to evaluations and cheap empowerment phrases. He is aware that he is not a professional therapist or coach. Instead, he shares his own story.
Born Anis Ferchichi, the rapper grew up without a father. He left the family when Bushido was three years old. Although Bushido's father had allegedly committed violence against his mother, the Berlin native felt like he "had only one leg" without a father figure.
Bushido opens up candidly in the six-part documentary
Bushido opens up candidly in the six-part documentary. He talks about depression and panic attacks, which he has suffered from "since I can remember." Only with his wife Anna-Maria Ferchichi (42) could he speak openly about his problems, and he is still in trauma therapy today. Through his personal experiences, Bushido is a credible mentor - and for "Back on Track," an intelligent, reflective, and sympathetic anchor point.
In the second episode of "Back on Track - New Beginning with Bushido," the rapper provides guidance to a young individual struggling with the absence of a father figure. This resonates with Bushido's own past, as he was raised without his father.
Following his candid discussions about his personal struggles with depression and panic attacks, Bushido continues to offer support and guidance in the future episodes of the series. His authenticity and relatability make him an effective mentor and a compassionate anchor point for the young participants.
With his fourth documentary series, Bushido highlights the importance of seeking help and healing from past burdens, as demonstrated in the upcoming episodes of "Back on Track - New Beginning with Bushido," available on Amazon Freevee.
