The U.S. vs. John Lennon

A compelling new documentary charting the evolution of the ex-Beatle from pop musician into political activist and peace campaigner, with emphasis on his confrontation with the Nixon administration of the early 1970s. Making copious use of hitherto unseen archive footage and forty of Lennon’s songs, the film reveals that Nixon regarded him as a significant threat, uncovers the U.S. Government’s efforts to silence him and demonstrates that the issues and struggles of that era remain relevant today. “John Lennon… represented life, and that is a good thing. Richard Nixon, and George Bush, represent death, and that is a bad thing.” – Gore Vidal. CB
