THE BEATLES AND INDIA

Ajoy Bose, Peter Compton
UK 2021 95 Digital File Color
Film description
A unique historical chronicle of the enduring love affair between The Beatles and India, which started more than half a century ago. Rare archival footage, recordings, and photographs, eye-witness accounts and expert comments along with location shoots across India, bring alive the fascinating journey of George, John, Paul and Ringo from their high-octane celebrity lives in the West to a remote Himalayan ashram in search of spiritual bliss that inspires an unprecedented burst of creative songwriting. It is the first serious exploration of how India shaped the development of the greatest ever rock band and their own pioneering role bridging two vastly different cultures.
