What to expect

The docuseries was made possible through the restoration of over 150 hours of unheard audio and more than 60 hours of footage shot by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in January 1969. The Beatles: Get Back carries with it an aura of exclusivity, as Jackson is the only person to gain access to the private film archives where this footage was held for more than 50 years.

Between footage of intimate recording sessions and songs pulled from the band’s final two albums Abbey Road and Let It Be, The Beatles: Get Back pulls back the curtain on the storied band caught in a time crush that put their relationship as individuals and bandmates to the test.

“It shows everything that Michael Lindsay-Hogg could not show in 1970. It’s a very unflinching look at what goes on,” Jackson told the New York Times. “You see these four great friends, great musicians, who just lock in and develop these songs, and you see it all onscreen.”

Coinciding with the film is the newly released book, The Beatles: Get Back. The book features photos from Ethan A. Russell and Linda McCartney,  plus hundreds of previously unpublished images of film frames from the original 16mm footage as directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and shot by the camera crew. Its text mostly consists of conversations between John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr with their associates that took place during the Get Back recording sessions throughout January 1969.

Watch The Beatles: Get Back on Disney+ starting November 25.
