Overview
- The feature, directed by Oscar winner Morgan Neville, focuses on McCartney’s 1970s reinvention with Wings and the creation of Band on the Run.
- Built from rare home movies, photos, demos and newly surfaced audio, the film forgoes on-camera sit-downs as McCartney’s reflections are heard off screen.
- McCartney, serving as executive producer, recalls the post-breakup despair and the Lagos mugging that stole early Band on the Run tapes.
- The documentary revisits the Allen Klein legal battle and McCartney’s blunt rejoinder to Lennon’s criticisms, as reported in early coverage.
- Amazon’s release is tied to a wider Universal Music Group partnership that includes a companion soundtrack with previously unreleased tracks and a recent oral-history book.
