One to One: John & Yoko plot

Set in New York City in 1972, the film explores the musical, personal, artistic, social and political worlds of John and Yoko against the backdrop of a turbulent era in American history. At its heart is the One to One charity concert for children with special needs, John Lennon’s only full concert between the Beatles’ final concert in 1966 and his death. The film features a wealth of previously unseen Lennon archives, including personal telephone conversations, home movies filmed by John and Yoko, and restored and remastered footage of the One to One concert with remixed audio.

From October 16, 1971 to February 1973, John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived in a simple apartment at 105 Banks Street in Greenwich Village in New York. In August 1972, they organized the One To One benefit concert for the severely neglected mentally handicapped children at Willowcreek State School. This documentary is a collage of the excellent performance of John Lennon and Yoko Ono (also in terms of image and sound) and television images of the couple who became very activist in that period under the influence of Jerry Rubin in particular, as well as well-known and lesser-known news facts from that period, recordings of telephone conversations and short fragments from various television programs that John and Yoko (who regarded television as a window on the world) watched at the time and thus places the public and musical performances of Lennon and Ono within the context of a turbulent time that shows quite a few similarities with the present. Sublime in every respect.

Those were also times, the seventies, when democracy was challenged to the utmost by Nixon and his cronies, but did not succumb, partly because millions kept stirring, and sometimes had to pay for it with their lives.

Where do we see the misogyny and overt racism that Yoko Ono faced now, if it ever went away?

But now, no hundreds of thousands in the streets, but a crushing silence, people who, in the world's oldest democracy, dare not express their opinions by name to a press that voluntarily allows itself to be muzzled, a comedian who can only keep his job with a humiliating audience Mea Culpa, fitting for Maoist China, and so on and so forth.

Will we wake up in time?
