This documentary film, set in New York in 1972, explores John and Yoko’s musical, personal, artistic, social, and political world against the backdrop of a turbulent era in American history. At the core of the film is the One to One charity concert for special needs children, John Lennon’s only full-length concert between the final Beatles concert in 1966 and his death. The film includes a wealth of previously unseen Lennon archives, including personal phone calls, home movies filmed by John and Yoko as well as restored and remastered footage from the One to One concert with remixed audio overseen by Sean Ono Lennon.
I wanted to make a film that would surprise and delight even the most dedicated Lennon/Ono fan by focusing on one transformative period in their lives and telling the tale through their own words, images, and music. Built around the beautiful 16mm film footage of the only full-length concert John gave after leaving the Beatles (re- scanned and re-mastered so it is unrecognisable for those who have seen the 1980s VHS release), I hope the film will introduce the audience to a more intimate version of John and Yoko—while also reflecting their politically radical and experimental sides.
