The film wonderfully mixes footage from the 1995 sessions (and more recent), intermingled with loads of great archival Beatles footage, all of it beautifully restored.

The music video—director Peter Jackson’s first ever—premiered on Friday, November 3, 2023, the day after the release of the single itself.
