What is Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison about?
The synopsis reads, “A dozen years in the making, Before the End’s cryptic tagline encapsulates its investigative approach: ‘One Man. Countless Myths. And in between lies the truth.’ Z-Machine founder, Jeff Finn’s extraordinary detail work breaks the decades-long hermetic seal on the traumatic formative years that forged a brief hellacious life, through Morrison’s controversial career as lead singer of legendary 1960s rock band, The Doors, to his reported 1971 death by ‘heart failure’ in Paris at age 27. Morrison’s ostensible demise, technically an unsolved cold case, formed its own rabbit hole of reasonable doubt, which inspired Finn to consult with private investigators and forensic analysts.
“Before the End transcends ‘rock doc’ in the same sense that Jim Morrison was more than a rock star. Featuring unprecedented content, from shocking corroboration about Morrison’s early life, to harrowing revelations about his stardom, and fresh evidence that contradicts his professed death, Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison is proudly unauthorized because it ‘seeks the unvarnished truth.’ The documystery reverse-engineers long-controlled narratives while it explores the notion of Morrison the nonconformist as neurodivergent, and deconstructs – through on-camera interviews with family, friends, lovers, classmates, and associates – key distinctions between Jim Morrison, ‘rock god,’ and James Douglas Morrison, introverted outsider.”
The documentary features interviews with Morrison’s cousins, friends, roommates, acquaintances, brother, critics, and more.
Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison will be released on January 13, 2025, on major platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and YouTube TV.
