Summary

"For one extraordinary week in February 1972, the Revolution WAS televised! DAYTIME REVOLUTION takes us back to the week when John Lennon and Yoko Ono co-hosted the iconic Mike Douglas Show, at that time a top-rated program that reached a daily audience of 40 million viewers. Acting as producers and co-hosts, Lennon and Ono handpicked their controversial guests, including Yippie founder Jerry Rubin, Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale, as well as political activist Ralph Nader and comic truth teller George Carlin. Their version of daytime TV was a radical take on the traditional format, incorporating candid Q&A sessions, conversations about radical politics, conceptual art events, John's reminiscences about his life with Yoko and The Beatles, and one-of-a-kind musical performances, including a unique duet with Lennon and Chuck Berry and a poignant rendition of Lennon's "Imagine." A document of the past that also speaks to the turbulent present, DAYTIME REVOLUTION captures the power that are can have when it reaches out to communicate--and the bravery of two artists who never took the easy way out as they fought for their vision of a better world.
