Feinberg, artisan Christine Kemp, psychologists Timothy Leary & Rosemary Leary, CFOX DJs Charles P. Rodney Chandler & Roger Scott, producer Andre Perry, journalist Ritchie YorkDJ & sponsor Murray the Kfilmmaker Jonas Mekas, publicist Derek Taylor & personal assistant Anthony Fawcett.
Featured songs are give PEACE A CHANCE & INSTANT KARMA of Plastic Ono Band, acoustic version REMEMBER LOVE who saw the wind & John of Yoko.
Watch the film to imaginepeace.com. It seems that the film will be offered it as a YouTube for this weekend only.
Last updated: Yoko Ono (and of Yoko Ono, itself in the Boing Boing comments on this post), word that "" peace bed will now be available until midnight Sunday, August 21."" No commercial release is planned, although some old VHS tapes are still available online through different vendors. "Yoko wants to just encourage people to be recalled and to discuss peace, especially after the recent events in the United Kingdom,", says a rep.
