Director Alan G. Parker on Borrowed Time; The Truth Behind John Lennon's Final Years REVEALED!


Alan G. Parker, director of Hello Quo Love Kills: The Story of Sid and the Pistols and It Was Fifty Years Ago Today... Sgt Pepper and Beyond, BORROWED TIME: LENNON'S LAST DECADE explores the final decade of Lennon's life in extraordinary detail.


Alan G. Parker is a British documentary filmmaker renowned for his in-depth explorations of iconic music figures, such as Sid Vicious, Monty Python, and The Beatles. His latest project, Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade, is a visionary documentary that delves into the final ten years of John Lennon's life. The film chronicles Lennon's evolution beyond The Beatles, highlighting his solo musical endeavors, activism at the forefront of anti-war protests, and personal growth during the 1970s. It covers his activism and the associated naivety, delves into new information, and to some extent explodes some of the myths about Lennon, which lead to a greater understanding of the man. To me, tt feels like an honest portrayal, particularly around his murder, sometimes with people who haven't talked before.


Utilizing rare archival footage, interviews with close associates, and never-before-seen materials, Parker offers an intimate portrait of Lennon as he navigated fame, artistic reinvention, and his enduring influence as a pop culture icon. Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade is scheduled for release in UK cinemas on May 2, 2025, with an exclusive Director's Cut available on the Icon Film Channel the same day.
