Looking for Lennon

Documentary97 min

Looking for Lennon follows John Lennon from Liverpool and the Beatles’ 1960s breakthrough toward the public legend that formed around him, asking what remains once the mythology is stripped away. Lennon appears through archival material, while Beatles biographer Hunter Davies and early band figures Colin Hanton and Len Garry help sketch the person behind the icon. The film keeps its focus on the music, the city that shaped him, and the distance between a private life and one lived in public.
