When You’re Strange

The documentary delves into the extraordinary journey of The Doors, a trailblazing rock band that left an indelible mark on American music history. Comprised of John Densmore (drums), Robby Kreiger (guitar), Ray Manzarek (keyboard), and Jim Morrison (vocals), the quartet's unique chemistry ignited a musical revolution. Through archival footage captured between 1965, when they first came together at UCLA's film school where Manzarek and Morrison crossed paths, to 1971, when Morrison passed away, the film charts their meteoric rise from obscurity to worldwide fame. Witness the transformation of these talented artists as they evolve from college students to rock legends, performing on sold-out arena stages while embodying the spirit of an entire generation.
