Who directed the 2017 concert documentary 'Black Sabbath: The End of the End'?

Dick Carruthers directed the 2017 concert documentary “Black Sabbath: The End of the End.”

The film captures Black Sabbath’s final concert, performed on February 4, 2017, at Birmingham’s Genting Arena during the band’s farewell End Tour. The location carried special meaning because Birmingham was the hometown of founding members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler.

Carruthers’ film combines concert footage with interviews and behind-the-scenes material. It also includes “The Angelic Sessions,” studio performances recorded shortly after the farewell show. The documentary therefore functions as both a concert film and a closing chapter in the band’s history.

A common mix-up is confusing this film with other Black Sabbath documentaries or with the live album The End: Live in Birmingham. The documentary was released theatrically as a one-night event on September 28, 2017, while the accompanying live album followed later that year.
