Back in 1969, 14-year-old Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room with a reel-to-reel tape deck in hand. His intentions were to score an interview with Lennon, primarily on the topic of peace.

Quite possibly the coolest video I've seen in a while. The animation is beautiful and so is the content. And seriously. 14 and sneaking into john lennons hotel room? thats bad ***

haha yea. I'm pretty sure I saw a lecture that these animators did. They're from Toronto, so maybe thats why they did that.

I saw this at the Jerusalem Film Festival and was blown away. Every word rings true, and the animation just makes it clearer.

Agreed. Especially with the 'girls at the best invention' text.

hearing john lennon on this makes me wonder, knowing the beatles history, where in the timeline with the group previous this point could he still give those answers.

he was a very smart and quick man and the world would be different if he was still alive almost 28 years ago now. what was it September 8th, 1980?
