This moving look at the couple’s life upon their entry into a transformative 1970’s New York explores their musical, personal, artistic, social, and political world. Set in 1972 against the backdrop of a turbulent era in American history, the core of the story are The One to One Concerts, John Lennon’s only full-length performances after The Beatles, accompanied by Yoko Ono, The Plastic Ono Band, Elephant’s Memory and special guests. With remixed concert audio produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film features newly transferred and restored footage, as well as a wealth of previously unseen and unheard personal archives such as phone calls and home movies recorded and filmed by John & Yoko themselves, plus talk-show appearances and news reports. A look inside two of history’s most influential and iconic artists, the film provides an intimate opportunity for viewers to travel inside the lives of John and Yoko and experience the decisions, passions, and challenges they faced at this point in their lives.
