Description
Before Iraq, before the Bush administration, before the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam… there was John Lennon, the celebrated music artist who used his fame and his fortune to protest the Vietnam War and advocate for world peace.
It was a move that incensed the US Government and put the CIA on notice.
In this new and highly acclaimed documentary, film makers David Leaf and John Scheinfeld trace Lennon’s metamorphosis from music superstar to anti-war activist and inspirational icon, revealing the true story of how and why the US Government tried to silence him.
