Plot summary
The documentary argues that the Beatles changed more than pop music, and that the effects of their fame outlasted the decade that produced them. It follows their influence from Britain to the rest of the world and looks at how they fed into youth culture and the anti-war movement of the period. Their path from a young group to figures at the center of a counterculture is part of the case it makes. Interviews with a man who helped bring the band to their manager's attention, with music critics and writers, and with others close to the period run alongside rare archive film and photographs.
