Yoko Ono has agreed to the use of some previously unseen footage of her late husband John Lennon to be used in that previously reported new documentary 'The US Vs John Lennon'. The film's directors, David Leaf and John Scheinfeld, gained access to Ono's home movies, wedding photographs and unfinished films. Ono says: "Of all the documentaries that have been made about John, this is the one he would have loved."
The film focuses on Lennon's activities as an anti-war activist, and his clashes with US authorities. Director Leaf says: "It's definitely a forgotten story. The vast majority of people who lived through that period and knew something about the Lennon case haven't thought about it in a really long time. For anyone born since then, it's probably an unknown story."
The film premieres this week at the Venice Film Festival
