The U.S. vs John Lennon (2006)

originally posted Monday, January 14, 2008

Released September 29th in the US.
This is a documentation showing us John Lennons struggles as a rebellious teenager and what that would mean come his later years, a rock musician who took flack at the height of his Beatles career for lyrics to one of his songs, the meeting of he and Yoko Ono and how she helped him change his many different ways. The loving couples' very public 'Bed For Peace' days and how the two became very involved in American politics, having many friends the government were not happy with and the need to have some say and way in helping stop the war.
Ending with Johns near deportation from the US for being too much of a peace activist and lastly when it all came to the abrupt end when he was meaninglessly gunned down and murdered.
