The US vs John Lennon [M]

Director: David Leaf, John Scheinfeld

Starring: John Lennon, Yoko Ono

A fascinating, personal and intimate portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential musicians and activists. Lennon was under close scrutiny from the US government for his very public opposition to the Vietnam War - so much so that the Nixon administration attempted to have him deported. Told through honest interviews with parties involved and a wealth of unseen footage, Lennon's political activities and creative changes, through his relationship with Yoko Ono, this is a fascinating portrait of a period of Lennon's life sometimes glossed over by history.
