Description:

Life, ever intense.

If they want to kick me out, I'll go on a rampage. The Statue of Liberty beckons. New York City is the best city ever. -John Lennon.

John Lennon's most beloved city and the city that took his life, New York City, back in the day.
This is the definitive film on John Lennon's life in New York City, the city where "John of the Beatles" became "John Lennon" again, the city he loved most in his life, and the city where he took his life. With the full cooperation and supervision of Yoko Ono, the film follows the nine years he spent in New York from September 1971 to December 1980, not only through interviews with John himself, but also through the latest interviews with Yoko and Elton John, as well as with his trusted producer Jack Douglas, the musicians with whom he worked, and his friends. The film vividly reveals John's life through the testimonies of those who were truly close to him, including his trusted producer Jack Douglas, the musicians with whom he worked, and his friend and photographer Bob Groen.

The peace movement, court battles, separation, reconciliation, and peaceful life. Peace movement, court battles, separation, reconciliation, and peaceful life. The unknown, true picture of John's life.
John, who was completely fed up with the turmoil over the Beatles' breakup and the Yoko-bashing that occurred through peace activities such as John and Yoko's bedding-in, moved to New York, a city somewhat reminiscent of his hometown of Liverpool. The country is in the middle of the Vietnam War, and an anti-war movement that repeatedly clashes violently spreads, and John is caught up in the movement. John's actions, which had a great influence on the youth, provoked the government to order his deportation and a lengthy court battle ensued.
Later, John and his friends supported a presidential candidate who lost the election, which was a political setback. John moved to Los Angeles and led a rough life, but they reconciled after meeting again at an Elton John concert, and when they had a long-awaited child, John became a househusband and a full-time househusband.
