Magnolia Pictures has dropped a new trailer for a highly anticipated film, “One to One: John and Yoko“.

After The Beatles broke up in 1970, John Lennon and Yoko Ono relocated to Greenwich Village to escape tabloid attention. The new documentary One to One: John and Yoko’s trailer focuses on that time period. Lennon expressed his admiration for Yoko after watching footage of the couple enjoying New York City.

In the following conversation, the musician recounts his legendary 1972 “One to One” benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, stating that he facilitated a change in youth apathy by singing and speaking to them.

Kevin MacDonald, the director of “The Last King of Scotland“, is behind “One to One: John and Yoko“, a documentary that showcases previously unreleased material and newly restored footage from the concert.

Here’s the official logline: “On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the ‘One to One’ benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono… By 1971 the couple was newly arrived in the United States — living in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watching a huge amount of American television. The film uses a riotous mélange of American TV to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen: the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Cronkite, The Waltons. As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest — ultimately leading to the ‘One to One’ concert, which was inspired by a Geraldo Rivera exposé they watched on TV.”

“One to One: John and Yoko“ opens in IMAX on April 11th, with a wide release one week later.
