Fast forward to today, and the highly anticipated film is almost here! Starting February 27th, audiences worldwide can stream this intimate portrait on Amazon Prime.
The documentary delves into the period between the Beatles' breakup in 1970 and the rise of McCartney's new band, Wings, in the mid-1970s. Through never-before-seen home videos, photos, and interviews, Neville aims to shed light on a time in McCartney's life that he believes has been overlooked. This era, according to Neville, is a crucial and transformative period in McCartney's artistic journey.
The film promises to showcase McCartney's emotional and artistic struggles, as well as his personal challenges, all while redefining his musical path.
