From a childhood in Liverpool to worldwide fame with the Beatles, and from the pressures of superstardom to his final years in New York, this omnibus edition brings together all five episodes exploring the life of John Lennon.
We follow John’s journey from the boy growing up on Menlove Avenue, through the formation and extraordinary success of the Beatles, to his emergence as a solo artist, political activist, husband and father. Along the way, we explore the relationships, experiences, ambitions and contradictions that helped shape one of the most influential and complicated figures in popular culture.
John Lennon’s story is one of extraordinary creativity, personal struggle, reinvention and enduring influence. But beyond the music, the photographs and the legend lies the story of a man whose life was still unfolding when it was cut tragically short at the age of forty.
This is the complete story of John Lennon: not simply the legend the world remembers, but the life behind it.
