The U.S. vs. John Lennon

A documentary tracing the great songwriter/musician’s life from 1966 to 1976, a period during which Lennon transformed himself into an antiwar activist, in constant conflict with the U.S. government and its views and increasingly forced to fight its efforts to silence him.

“A stirring celebration of a man of enormous talent, humor and humanity.” (Newsday)

“A gripping and moving homage that brings in some new-old faces to flank the usual suspects in telling the story of Lennon and his badgering by the FBI.” (L.A. Weekly)

“Fascinating.” (Wall Street Journal)
