Apple Announces 'Bono: Stories of Surrender' as First Feature-Length Film in Apple Immersive Video

Apple has announced 'Bono: Stories of Surrender,' a documentary covering Bono's one-man show by the same name. Based on his memoir, "Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story," and the accompanying book/theatre tour, the film hails from RadicalMedia and Plan B Entertainment, with award-winning filmmaker Andrew Dominik directing.

"Bono: Stories of Surrender" is a vivid reimagining of Bono's critically acclaimed one-man stage show, "Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief…" As he pulls back the curtain on a remarkable life and the family, friends and faith that have challenged and sustained him, he also reveals personal stories about his journey as a son, father, husband, activist and rock star. Along with never-before-seen, exclusive footage from the Beacon Theatre shows, the film features Bono performing many of the iconic U2 songs that have shaped his life and legacy.

Also set to premiere on May 30, 2025 on Apple Vision Pro, "Bono: Stories of Surrender (Immersive)" will be the first feature-length film available in Apple Immersive Video, a media format recorded in 8K with Spatial Audio to produce a 180-degree video that places viewers onstage with Bono and in the center of his story. With this special edition of the film available only on Vision Pro, viewers will feel completely immersed in the music and storytelling.


RadicalMedia's Jon Kamen and Dave Sirulnick produce alongside Academy Award-winning Plan B Entertainment's Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. Bono executive produces with Jennifer Pitcher and Kelly McNamara.

"Bono: Stories of Surrender," an abridged and updated paperback edition of Bono's bestselling memoir, will be released concurrently with the documentary film.

The film premieres May 30, 2025 on Apple TV+.
