'All Together Now' faithfully recounts how the LOVE project came into being, borne from the personal friendship between George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte. George saw how the twin talents of Cirque du Soleil and The Beatles could be fused into something new and totally original.
Apple Corps Ltd./Cirque du Soleil have confirmed an October 20 (21st in USA) release of the feature-length documentary 'All Together Now' on DVD, which will be marketed and distributed worldwide by EMI Music. The DVD release follows acclaimed film festival screenings across North America, including a sold out opening night U.S. premiere at the Silverdocs Festival in Washington D.C. where the Washington Post observed that 'All Together Now' "cuts into the heart of [LOVE]."
