John Lennon鈥檚 image is known around the world; he is one of the most famous people on the planet. But can just a handful of photos uncover new truths about someone we think we all know? This film throws a unique lens onto an extraordinary life, focusing on ten defining pictures 鈥� from iconic shots to private snaps 鈥� with their secrets revealed by those who were there and those who knew John Lennon best.
