Featuring such hits as "Imagine," "How Do You Sleep?" "Jealous Guy," and "Gimme Some Truth," IMAGINE found the 30-year-old Lennon maturing even further as an artist, and embracing a hopefulness that was due in large part to his relationship with Yoko Ono. While writing and recording the legendary album in the private studio of their Ascot, England, mansion, the couple allowed Andrew Solt to film the production. In addition to illuminating footage of the artist at work, GIMME SOME TRUTH also contains several scenes of non-musical footage, including a celeb-studded New York party and a BBC interview from that era. A must-see for Lennon fanatics, GIMME SOME TRUTH provides insight into the highly enigmatic relationship between Lennon and Ono, yet it also works as a fascinating portal into the grueling, but rewarding, songwriting process itself.
