This month’s film synopsis

John Lennon wasn't the first to shoehorn their opinions of war into catchy songs, of course, but his popularity-powered push for peace during the Vietnam era was certainly well documented. As The Beatles gradually went their separate ways, Lennon---accompanied by Yoko Ono, of course---continued his non-violent protest against the war from the late 1960's onward. From media populated bed-ins to concert performances, it's no wonder that controversy and public attention followed the rebellious Lennon during such a troublesome time.

Featuring newly-recorded interviews and vintage clips from the era, The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) reminds us that the late legend actually believed in the cause he supported. During this new documentary, we hear from folks on both sides of the fence, including widow Yoko Ono Lennon, former Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, Walter Cronkite, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, former Nixon administration official G. Gordon Liddy, former U.S. Senator George McGovern, Geraldo Rivera, historian Gore Vidal and other political activists and underground journalists. The older footage is equally provocative, ranging from concert performances to Lennon's quick-witted bouts with detractors. All things considered, it's an irresistible story told with skill and great detail.

"Apathy isn't it and we can all do something." – John Lennon
