John Lennon fans and political activists everywhere will rejoice with the forthcoming film The U.S. Versus John Lennon. The September release will capture Lennon's push for world peace through his progression from being a part of the fab four to becoming an anti-war activist. The film focuses on Lennon's life from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, and also captures Lennon's fight with the Nixon administration.

The film will be distributed by Lions Gate Films, the distributors of the controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11. Capitol/EMI is also jumping on with the September 26th release of another Lennon compilation, which will serve as the film's soundtrack. The soundtrack's 19 tracks will inclued an unreleased version of "How Do You Sleep?"
