David Leaf's provocative documentary examines John Lennon's growing involvement in antiwar efforts from 1966 to 1976 and the U.S. government's attempts to silence him. The film picks up Lennon's story as he begins to shed his Beatles identity and adopt the role of a peace activist. Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, collaborated on the film, which features interviews with Carl Bernstein, Walter Cronkite, Gov. Mario Cuomo, Angela Davis and others.
