John & Yoko's year of peace

It was 1969, headlines blaring war and civil unrest while John Lennon and Yoko Ono were in love. The eccentric rock' n' roll couple had just gotten married. More than happy to be together, they wanted to change the world. So, lying in a hotel bed surrounded by journalists, they announced their mission for peace and invited the rest of the world to symbolically climb into bed with them and share their dream. People called them silly...naïve...even ridiculous...yet one famous couple's bed-in spread new hope that there really could be an end to war, hate and violence. Here is rare footage from that amazing time, including John and Yoko's wedding, the infamous bedside confrontation between John and conservative cartoonist Al Capp, Lennon debating media expert Marshall McLuhan, and meeting Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Nearly 20 years after Lennon's murder by a crazed fan, Yoko Ono and others involved in the peace mission reflect on the events of that magical, mystical year.

  • ""C'était en 1969, la guerre et le mécontentement de la population faisaient les gros titres, John et Yoko étaient amoureux. Le couple excentrique et rock'n'roll venait de se marier. Plus que simplement heureux d'être ensemble, ils voulaient changer le monde. Allongés sur le lit de leur chambre d'hôtel, entourés de journalistes, ils annonçaient leur mission pour la paix et invitaient le reste du monde à grimper symboliquement dans leur lit afin de partager leur rêve. Beaucoup les pensèrent fous, naïfs, voire ridicules, pourtant cette manifestation couchée engendra l'espoir nouveau d'une fin possible à la guerre, la haine et la violence. Ce document retrace cette période étonnante, et contient la fameuse confrontation entre John et le dessinateur conservateur Al Capp, la rencontre avec le premier ministre canadien Pierre Trudeau, et la tentative échouée d'organiser un festival rock'n'roll international et gratuit pour la paix. Vingt ans après l'assassinat de John Lennon par un fan fou, Yoko Ono et de nombreuses autres personnes impliquées dans le combat pour la paix reviennent sur les évènements de cette année mystique et magique."
