Movie Recommendation: U.S. vs. John Lennon

I always knew John Lennon was my favorite Beatle and it's just been reaffirmed.

This documentary takes us through his late Beatle, post-Beatle period and his growth as an anti-war activist. And the Nixon administration's fight to get him deported for it.

Featuring interviews with Yoko Ono, Angela Davis, Bobby Seale and even J. Gordon Liddy.

Really interesting stuff.

We saw "Across the Universe" a couple of weeks ago and I think the two movies actually work well together to give you a picture of the times and the Beatles place in it.
