An intimate documentary focusing on the late Beatle John Lennon and his wife artist Yoko Ono has been made available to the general public for the first time since 1969. Titled 24 Hours: The World of John and Yoko, it can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video as part of streamers’ The Coda Collection.
The documentary was directed by Paul Morrison and offers insight into Lennon and Ono’s relationship, creative process, and activism. It was filmed over the course of five days in iconic locations, including the Abbey Road Studios.
The 35-minute film aired only once on BBC on December 15th, 1969, and hasn’t been shown again since then.
The official Twitter page of The Coda Collection posted a trailer for the documentary, which features clips of Lennon and Ono’s “Bed-ins for Peace” campaign, the couple working in the studio together, as well as several other activism efforts.
In addition, the trailer also contains several of Lennon’s back-and-forth with the media. Check it out below.
In the 50 years since 24 Hours: The World of John and Yoko, several other documentaries about Lennon and Ono have been made. The most recent one is Michael Epstein’s 2018 documentary John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky, which followed the recording of Imagine and studies the couple’s creative collaboration.
