SYNOPSIS

By the age of 25, George Harrison had achieved unparalleled international fame and financial success as the lead guitarist of The Beatles.  He spent years navigating the Lennon-McCartney songwriting team, while quietly establishing himself as one of the greatest guitarists in rock and roll.  By the late 1960’s, Beatlemania became claustrophobic and George began to seek meaning beyond his material success.  So began a lifelong quest to balance the material with the spiritual. Using never-before-seen photos and footage (including unreleased Beatles footage), Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese traces the lines of George’s journey, from Liverpool to India to Los Angeles to the banks of the Thames, from George’s birth in 1943 to his passing in 2001.  Despite its epic reach, the film is deeply personal, weaving together interviews with Harrison’s closest friends, performance footage, and recordings, home movies and rare archival materials.  The film allows everyone to experience George’s musical and spiritual voyage through his own eyes and get a rare glimpse into the mind and soul of one of the most talented artists of his generation.
