Pop culture icons like The Beatles come around once in a generation (if not more infrequently), and pieces of art that capture these icons’ creative process contemporaneously and accurately occupy another realm of scarcity.

The three-part documentary catalogues some of The Beatles’ final recording sessions together at Twickenham Film Studios and the original Apple Studio in January 1969, dubbed the “Get Back Sessions,” that produced the group’s twelfth and final studio album, Let It Be. Originally intended as a lead-in to a live album and television special, the sessions morphed into a quasi-film production before culminating in a rooftop performance that would prove The Beatles’ last live performance.
