A cinematic document of the first meeting between Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder at a Mull of Kintyre farmhouse ahead of their potential collaboration on what may in fact become a global chart-topping plea for racial harmony.

It topped the charts and earned itself a ban in Apartheid South Africa. The origin of Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder’s hit duet about racial harmony is forensically examined by writer/director Jim Hosking (The Greasy Strangler, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn). His cinematic document details the first meeting between Paul (Sky Elobar) and Stevie (Gil Gex) at the ex-Beatles’ Mull of Kintyre farmhouse. Stevie arrives by rowing boat. From there the pair smoke “doobie woobies” and devour the entire range of vegetarian ready meals created “By The Wife” while talking up a storm about the local sheep and what it truly takes to be a musical legend. An oddball cult classic in waiting.

Screening as part of Official Selection

The screening on 5 March will be followed by a Q&A with Jim Hosking (director).
