About this product
In 1963 a band burst onto the world stage and single-handedly transformed popular culture. Conquering first Britain and then America the following year, The Beatles and their music were a breath of fresh air dynamic, positive and modern. Yet, from the very beginning, the four loveable Mop-Tops were also revolutionaries who would pull the world out of it's black and white past and into a technicolour future. HOW THE BEATLES CHANGED THE WORLD traces the band's path through the most remarkable decade of the twentieth century, the 1960s. It not only looks at the impact of their artistic evolution across this period but also at the wider revolution they instigated, from fashion, film and art to the British class system, the anti-war movement, the counterculture, Eastern spirituality, psychedelia and the riots of 1968. Through exclusive interviews and rarely seen footage, this film reveals the previously untold story of how four young men from Liverpool transformed the world forever. Featuring new interviews with former head of Apple Records, Tony Bramwell; Beatles associate and Underground scenester, Barry Miles; art curator and close friend of John and Yoko, John Dunbar; Merseybeat! , Billy Harry; as well as authors and historians Jonathan Gould, Chris Ingham, Robert Christgau, Anthony DeCurtis and Mark Paytress.

Arrangements of Beatles songs by artists including the Bee Gees, Elton John, and Tina Turner set the emotional tone for this profound anti-war musical documentary by legendary filmmaker Tony Palmer. Blending powerful performances with striking archival imagery, the film reflects on the human cost of conflict and the enduring impact of war. Now meticulously re-cut and re-released for the first time since 1976, this restored version brings renewed resonance to a timeless and deeply moving work.
In 1971, Canadian journalist Bob Hunter determined to do something about American nuclear testing in Alaska...and, together with like-minded activists, sailed a fishing vessel into ground zero. Their mission would be the founding effort of the group that became Greenpeace, and through archival footage and copious interviews, remarkable insight is provided into the environmental movement’s formative years as well as Hunter himself. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English Dolby Digital 5.1; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer.
Double disc version. Beatles London is without doubt the most detailed investigation of the legendary group at this point of their career, and is guaranteed to provide new insights both for the fan and the dedicated chronicler of the history of popular music. Presented by Richard Porter, founder of the London Beatles Fan Club and author of the 'Guide to the Beatles London', the program takes the viewer to the key Beatles' sights of London, such as EMI Studio and the iconic pedestrian crossing at Abbey Road; Beatles' homes in London; Decca Studios where the Beatles failed their audition and much more.
