I saw it. It was pretty good. I basically just got it for the old footage and stuff... I don't really get into the politics and whatnot.

I saw it a few months before it was released on DVD (I loved working at a video store!) and had my own screener dvd of it - watched it once but was kinda tired and fell asleep around the end - good doc but I'll have to watch it again before I make a real judgment on it

It was on BBC a few weeks back and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I always enjoy watching old footage of the Beatles.

The US vs John Lennon made me cry. It was just another brutal reminder that as a race, the human race, our politics have not evolved. The powers use only fear to further endorse their agenda. And we the people, are so god damn apathetic about. WAKE UP!
I understand many here are very young, but what will it take? Look at the bigger picture. Things are really spiraling further downward. I feel a draft and unfortunatley I don't believe people will change until they see their friends torn away and come home in a box!
This documentary WAS NOT made for looking at old footage of The Beatles. This was heart wrenching and desearves more than to be remembered as a cute documentary. This was about John Lennon's strugle. Let's start struggling for peace! Let's carry on what John wanted us to do!!

even tho there's not going to be any new Beatle footage, I can always take comfort in the fact that at least Ringo keeps his fans up to date with videos
