This film by Oscar winner Kevin McDonald ("The Last King of Scotland," "Whitney") will surprise and delight even the most die-hard fans of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It focuses on a crucial period of transformation in their lives, when they lived in New York for 18 months in 1971-72. The film utilizes private film, photo, and music archives, and also, for the first time, includes telephone conversations recorded by the FBI, which sought to deport Lennon from the country. John and Yoko lived in a Greenwich Village apartment, which was fully reconstructed for this story. Bewildered by America, they surrounded themselves with a team of eccentrics and young artists: from Allen Ginsberg to Jerry Rubin. The strangest of them turned out to be activist AJ Weberman, who was tasked with searching Bob Dylan's trash bins to prove that the singer had become a "hypocritical multimillionaire." The film's title refers to Lennon's unique charity concert, which took place on August 30, 1972.
