Magnolia Pictures has landed North American rights to “One to One: John & Yoko,” a documentary that offers an expansive and revealing look at the transformative 18 months of one of music’s most famous couples.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono publicly spoke about love and peace. At home, though, he could be viciously mean to her.

Macdonald won a Feature Documentary Oscar for 2000’s One Day in September which follows the 1972 Munich Summer Olympic Games when Palestinian terrorist group Black September held Israeli athletes hostage. Macdonald has also directed such feature films as The Mauritanian, The Eagle, the Oscar winning The Last King of Scotland, and Black Sea.

John & Yoko," a documentary about John Lennon and Yoko Ono's time living in Greenwich Village, will be released by Magnolia in IMAX.

Yoko Ono and John Lennon separated for over a year. Before this, Ono was getting sick of Lennon's presence in her life.

The late president celebrated the impact and influence of the song, which decries war, nationalism, and the excesses of capitalism.

Magnolia Pictures has announced that they have acquired North American rights to ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO, from Oscar®-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald (“The Last King of Scotland,” “Marley,” HBO’s “One Day in September”, “The Mauritanian”).
