John & Yoko - Above Us Only Sky (2018) - Funny story, my daughter loves the band, The Barenaked Ladies, who have a song called Be My Yoko Ono, which led her to ask who is Yoko Ono, which ultimately led to her being a newly minted Beatles fan and us watching this documentary.
It was an interesting peek behind the curtain as John and Yoko work on the release of Imagine thanks to their own personal footage. It features interviews with Yoko herself as well as Julian Lennon. My daughter and I found it quite interesting how many people just seemed to be hanging out during the recording of this album and it was surprising to both of us to see George Harrison sitting in on some recordings. Another interesting twist to the story was John meeting with a Vietnam vet who had an over developed interest in Lennon. Instead of calling the police, Lennon shares a real moment talking with this man which is totally wild taking into consideration he ultimately died at the hands of an obsessed fan.
This was a hit with both of us. We watched it on Netflix.
