John Lennon's final interview explored in new documentary

December 8 will mark forty years since John Lennon was murdered in New York City. Just days before his death, Lennon took part in an extensive interview that would become the last one he ever gave.

Lennon’s Last Weekend goes inside that fabled interview between John Lennon and BBC Radio’s Andy Peebles and explores the wide-range of topics Lennon opened up about in the hours leading up to his death. Unlike other documentaries about Lennon or The Beatles, this film offers a unique perspective on the icon that doesn’t place his music at the forefront.

“There’s a lot more to John than just his music,” Director Brian Grant told RADIO.COM in an interview. “He was an activist, an activist for peace, and a better world. I tried to balance the songwriter with that activist and the humanitarian, he was the ultimate humanitarian if you think about it. But, he was a flawed character as well.”
