Interesting facts

One to One: John & Yoko is a 2024 documentary film co-directed by Kevin Macdonald and Sam Rice-Edwards. The film follows the couple of years which John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent in a Greenwich Village apartment while also tracing developments in American politics like the presidency of Richard Nixon and opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. It is centered around Lennon and Ono's "One to One" benefit concert for the children at Willowbrook. Sean Ono Lennon, son of Lennon and Ono, oversaw audio mastering for the concert footage.

Background

The project began when Macdonald was presented with remastered, restored, never-before-seen footage of the "One to One" benefit concert. Macdonald then considered the broader context of why the concert happened, probing further questions about Lennon and Ono's lives and careers.

Macdonald then sought to create a film around the benefit concert, as well as the couple's "political engagement" and their relationship to watching television.

The original release of this concert is the Live in New York City album and home video in 1986.
