Movie propaganda
Musician. Humanitarian. National threat.
The US vs John Lennon is a compelling and provocative look at John Lennon's transformation from beloved musical artist to anti-war activist to iconic inspiration for peace that also reveals the true story of why and how the US Government tried to silence him. The film will also show that this was not just an isolated episode in American history but that the issues and struggles of that era remain relevant today.

Theatrical report
There are people on this planet who desperately need shooting. John Lennon was not one of them. Richard Nixon was. The US vs John Lennon made me very angry, especially when I see the same political shenanigans going on today. Politicians should be banned from government. Grrr.
