How cool is it that The Doors are still breaking through!
Sixty years on, The Doors’ story returns to the big screen with When You’re Strange, Tom DiCillo’s Grammy-winning deep dive into the chaos, poetry, and electricity that defined Jim Morrison and company. Now remastered in 4K, the film includes a fresh intro from John Densmore and Robby Krieger, plus a brand-new global performance of “Riders On The Storm”, a Playing For Change collab with Densmore, Krieger, and a lineup of killer guests.
You can see it worldwide, December 4 and 6. Tickets drop October 30 at 6 a.m. PT at WhenYoureStrangeMovie.com.
Narrated by Johnny Depp, When You’re Strange pulls from rare footage between 1965 and 1971, the rise, the fire, the fallout. It’s The Doors unfiltered: four artists, one unstoppable spark.
The new “Riders On The Storm: Song Around The World” pulls the band’s spirit into the present, uniting 20+ musicians and dancers from eight countries, from Lakota drumbeats to Lukas and Micah Nelson, Sierra Ferrell, and Foo Fighters’ Rami Jaffee.
The project also fuels something bigger, supporting the first Playing For Change Foundation music school built in America, empowering Indigenous communities through rhythm, story, and song.
The Doors weren’t just a band. They were an awakening. And six decades later, the storm still rolls.
