On Netflix:  Above Us Only Sky

Ends April 30th. Documentary about John, Yoko, and the making of the album Imagine. 

A good follow up to Get Back. Adds much insight to the personalities of both John and Yoko as individuals and as a couple.

I was happy that John spoke about the song, How Do You Sleep?, describing it as “sibling rivalry”. It was no big deal to him saying he had talked to Paul just the day before!
