Film profile: U.S. Vs John Lennon, The

THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON focuses on a part of the music icon's life that is often overlooked: his politicisation both during and after the Vietnam War. Towards the end of the Beatles' career, Lennon began taking the band in a new direction, using their popularity to circulate a message of peace in songs such as 'Revolution'. He became even more involved after the band broke up, and the film traces his growing awareness and dissent through both archival footage and interviews with those close to him. This leads to the titular case, in which the U.S. government attempted to deport the star for fear of the threat he posed to the nation.
