Bono: Stories of Surrender, a new feature-length film about the U2 front man, will premiere on 30 May on Apple TV+.
Directed by Andrew Dominik, it is described as "a lyrical, bold visual exploration of Bono’s one-man show by the same name" and is based on his 2022 memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, and the accompanying book/theatre tour, Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief, which he brought to Dublin’s Olympia Theatre.
The synopsis for the film adds, "Bono: Stories of Surrender is a vivid reimagining of Bono’s critically acclaimed one-man stage show, as he pulls back the curtain on a remarkable life and the family, friends, and faith that have challenged and sustained him, revealing personal stories about his journey as a son, father, husband, activist and rockstar."
