John Lennon

A biography of the rock music star.

The compelling and provocative documentary of John Lennon's evolution from beloved Beatle to outspoken artist and activist. An iconic inspiration for peace during one of the most tumultuous times in American history, Lennon stood his ground, refused to be silenced and courageously won his battle with the U.S. Government.

Directed by and starring John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and featuring famous friends and collaborators (George Harrison, Fred Astaire, Andy Warhol, Jack Palance), this unique, surreal reality film — composed to music from Lennon's "Imagine" LP and Ono's "Fly" — from 1972 features a different visual treatment for every song and follows the couple during recording sessions in the U.K. and New York.

Loaded with revealing footage, film clips, informative interviews and more, “Gimme Some Truth” places a spotlight on the making of John Lennon’s ageless 1971 solo album, "Imagine"—and the creative and recording processes that led to its existence.

Directed by Academy Award® winner Kevin Macdonald (HBO's One Day in September), this immersive documentary offers a rare and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono's first year in New York City – a chapter of explosive creativity and political activism. In 1971, John and Yoko moved into a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, where they watched hours of American television. Over a year of love and transformation, the couple begins to change their approach to protest and are inspired to organize a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, Lennon's only full-length show after leaving The Beatles. Featuring a mélange of 1970s TV clips and music newly remixed by Sean Ono Lennon, One to One: John & Yoko offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two iconic artists.

This documentary explores Beatlemania's peak, featuring rare performances, behind-the-scenes stories, and insights from insiders like Pete Best and Tony Barrow.
