There was an invite-only screening on Wednesday night (March 6th) for the latest John Lennon and Yoko Ono documentary, John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky, which is set to air on A&E on March 11th, at 9 p.m. The film, which produced by Britain’s Channel 4 with the cooperation of Yoko Ono and the Lennon estate, aired to raves last fall in Britain and features “unheard audio including the first demo of ‘Imagine,’ as well as never-heard-before interviews with one-time Beatle Lennon. Previously unseen footage shows him and Yoko working together in London.”
Above Us Only Sky was helmed by Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated director Michael Epstein, best known for the 2010 LennoNYC documentary, who was on-hand at the Manhattan screening with legendary producer Jack Douglas, who was among the engineers on the 1971 Imagine album as well as the Grammy-winning producer for John & Yoko’s 1980 “comeback” album, Double Fantasy.
