THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK conta a história desses anos em que, de 1962 a 1966, atuaram 815 vezes em 15 países e 90 cidades. Este é um retrato do impacto que a digressão teve nos Beatles, a nível pessoal e artístico: como funcionavam como banda, tomavam decisões, criaram música e construíram uma carreira coletiva juntos. O fenómeno cultural que esta digressão ajudou a criar, conhecida como “Beatlemania”, foi algo que o mundo nunca antes tinha presenciado e que, desde então, nunca mais viu.

This film discusses the effect on how major American films in Hollywood were influenced by the Eastern European Jewish culture that most of the major movie moguls who controlled the studios shared. Through clips of various films, the filmmakers illustrate the dominant themes like that of the outsider, the outspoken American patriotism, and rooting for the underdog in society.

Art Kane, now deceased, coordinated a group photograph of all the top jazz musicians in NYC in the year 1958, for a piece in Esquire magazine. Just about every jazz musician at the time showed up for the photo shoot which took place in front of a brownstone near the 125th street station. The documentary compiles interviews of many of the musicians in the photograph to talk about the day of the photograph, and it shows film footage taken that day by Milt Hinton and his wife.

Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention.
