Watch a New Trailer for John Lennon & Yoko Ono Documentary, ‘One To One’

A new documentary offering an intimate look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in New York in the early 1970s has its first trailers.
Due in theaters April 11th, One To One: John & Yoko centers on their August 30th, 1972 performance at the free One to One benefit concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden—Lennon’s only full-length show after leaving The Beatles. At the concert, Ono and Lennon were accompanied by Ono’s Plastic Ono Band, Elephant’s Memory and a host of special guests.
The documentary also features never-before-seen and newly restored footage from the years 1971 and 1972, when Lennon and Ono had just moved to their first Greenwich Village apartment. Archival footage—including phone calls and private home videos—are paired with clips from the American television they had been immersing themselves in at the time: The Price is Right, The Waltons, Coca-Cola ads, Walter Cronkite and his reporting on Nixon, The Vietnam War and more.
Directed by Kevin McDonald, the film also features newly remixed and produced music from their son, Sean Ono Lennon. In a statement, Lennon shared: “Kevin’s documentary brings completely fresh insight into my parents’ lives during their Bank Street and early New York years, showing first hand their unwavering dedication to promoting peace and non-violence during a turbulent era of unrest, corruption and unnecessary war.”
In a clip from the film, Lennon explains why he wanted to perform at a free show: “To change the apathy that all the youth have, speak to them, sing to them, and do anything to get them alive again.”
