The trailer for the new documentary One to One: John and Yoko has been released.

Directed by Kevin MacDonald, this new doc examines the life of John Lennon and Yoko One when they first moved to New York City in the early 1970s following the breakup of The Beatles. In particular, the film takes a look at the One to One concert, which was the free benefit concert John and Yoko put on at Madison Square Garden on August 30, 1972. The One to One concert was the only full-length concert John and Yoko ever performed together.

In the trailer below, Lennon is asked, "Why would you do a concert for free?" He responded, "To change the apathy that all of the youth have, speak to them, sing to them, and do anything to get them alive again. Viva la revolution!"

Per the film's synopsis, "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. Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, 'One to One: John and Yoko' offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history’s most influential artists."

One to One: John and Yoko opens exclusively in IMAX theaters on April 11. To purchase tickets for a screening near you, head over to OneToOneFilm.com.
