Daytime Revolution (DVD)

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. Restoration Demonstration
