About this product

Product Information

David Leaf and John Scheinfeld struggled for over 15 years to produce this documentary, and it's emergence in the year 2006 is a testament to the film's timeliness. THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON focuses on a part of the music icon's life that is often overlooked: his politicization both during and after the Vietnam War. Towards the end of the Beatles' career, Lennon began taking the band in a new direction, using their popularity to circulate a message of peace in songs such as "Revolution." He became even more involved after the band broke up, and the film traces his growing awareness and dissent through both archival footage--much of which had lain forgotten in vaults for decades--and interviews with those close to him. This leads to the titular case, in which the U.S. government, which had already been monitoring his actions for some time, attempted to deport the star for fear of the threat he posed to the nation.The film also portrays Lennon's close relationship with Yoko Ono and the effect she had on his art, including an interview with the Japanese performance artist and muse that sheds much light on the couple's intimate history. Other interviews feature such luminaries as Mario Cuomo, Gore Vidal, Walter Cronkite, Angela Davis, and even G. Gordon Liddy, the former chief operative under Richard Nixon. The film avoids falling into the trap of one-dimensional idolatry, showing Lennon's politicization as reflective of his own spiritual path, a very personal, at times fallible, journey towards using his fame to make the world a better place. The constraints and depletion of civil liberties Lennon experienced at the hands of the U.S. government, then in the throws of a neo-McCarthyism, invite comparisons to contemporary politics. The creative ways he fought for expression and peace, meanwhile, expand upon the known brilliance of a remarkable figure.

    The US verses John Lennon

    A documentary everyone should see. John and Yoko's vision was profound and important. What they had to say was simple and true; however, it was contrary to what our government wanted. Their message was so profound and scared to the government that he was finally assassinated. He was simply a musician with the courage to speak his mind.

    Why "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" (2006) DVD is an important U.S. History Lesson & Memorial

    Watching "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" (2006) DVD is an incredible treat. Not only was it a valuable history lesson of immigration, deportation legal matters, corruption & dirty commanders-in-chief but it was inspiring to hear perspectives from John Lennon's loved ones & legal advocates who stood for who John Lennon was as a possibility & who John Lennon remains to be in his music.

    Lennon Anti-War Activist

    Lennon demonstrated that being an activist against the act of war is a commitment for life and far more important than being a celebrity. Great Movie!
