Exclusive: New The U.S. vs. John Lennon Clip

Lionsgate documentary, The U.S. vs. John Lennon, opening in New York and Los Angeles on Sept.15 before expanding wider on Sept. 29.

Before Iraq, before the Bush Administration, before the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen, and Pearl Jam... there was John Lennon, the celebrated musical artist who used his fame and his fortune to protest the Vietnam War and advocate for world peace. In the new Lionsgate documentary, The U.S. vs. John Lennon, filmmakers David Leaf and John Scheinfeld trace Lennon's metamorphosis from lovable "Moptop" to anti-war activist to inspirational icon as they reveal the true story of how and why the U.S. government tried to silence him.

Scrupulously researched and vividly illustrated, the movie illuminates a little-known chapter of modern history, when a president and his administration used the machinery of government to wage a covert war against the world's most popular musician. Exploring an era roiled by many of the same issues confronting us today, the film delivers a tale that speaks powerfully to our own unsettled times.
