For one extraordinary week in February 1972, the Revolution WAS televised! Daytime Revolution takes us back in time to the week when John Lennon and Yoko Ono took over a Philadelphia broadcasting studio and co-hosted the iconic Mike Douglas Show, at that time a top rated show reaching a daily audience of 40 million viewers. What followed was five unforgettable episodes of television, with Lennon and Ono at the helm and Mike Douglas bravely keeping the show on track. Acting as producers and hosts, Lennon and Ono handpicked their controversial guests, including Yippie founder Jerry Rubin, Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale, as well as political activist Ralph Nader and comic truth teller George Carlin. Their version of daytime TV was a radical take on the traditional format, incorporating candid Q&A sessions with their rapt audience, conversations about radical politics, conceptual art events, John's very candid reminiscences about his life with Yoko and The Beatles, and one-of-a-kind musical performances, including a unique duet with Lennon and Chuck Berry and a poignant rendition of Lennon's Imagine. A document of the past that also speaks to our turbulent present, Daytime Revolution captures the power that art can have when it reaches out to communicate and the bravery of two artists who never took the easy way out as they fought for their vision of a better world.
