London, February 2025: Kaleidoscope Entertainment is excited to announce that a new John Lennon documentary film, 'Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade', will be coming to UK cinemas from May 2nd, with special Q&A events to be announced soon. From Alan G. Parker, director of 'Hello Quo', 'Love Kills: The Story of Sid and the Pistols' and 'It Was Fifty Years Ago Today... Sgt Pepper and Beyond', 'Borrowed Time' explores the final decade of Lennon's life in extraordinary detail. Follow the legend as he evolves beyond The Beatles, creating revolutionary music and standing at the forefront of anti-war protests that would make him one of the most influential pop culture icons of all time.

Hear and see musicians, journalists, and close friends of the man himself set the record straight on the truth behind many famous Lennon moments, brought to life by rare archive footage, including never-before-seen interviews. For the first time ever, the full story of how John and Yoko met is revealed and watch as the curtain is also lifted on the 1981 'Double Fantasy' comeback tour that never came to be after Lennon's tragic death in December 1980.

SongLink editor David Stark is also featured in the three and a half hour 'Director's Cut' of the movie, as he met Lennon a few times during the 1960's, including just before he left the UK with Yoko Ono in 1971. He also knew his legendary Aunt Mimi and describes in the film what her reaction to Lennon's assassination was, and how she believed he may have come to visit her secretly after his departure. This longer version of the film will be streaming from the same release date (May 2nd) for one month exclusively on the Icon Film Channel, available for subscribers on Amazon Prime Video Channels or via the standalone app.

Speaking on the upcoming release, director Alan G. Parker commented, "I am so excited to share 'Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade' with UK audiences. I've made a number of films, but this is the first one that feels personal. I never met John Lennon, but through his music he became the older brother that this bullied kid needed."
