Quick links

Stories of Surrender is a feature-length movie that's a hybrid of several different things. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in mid-May shortly before its home release.

In part it's a recording of Bono's confessional one-man show in which he describers his life story and shares anecdotes from his long career.

But it also combines elements of a musical performance with Bono performing U2 songs to a live stage.

If you're a U2 fan or just curious to see the film, here's how to watch Bono: Stories of Surrender at home.
