Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison (2025)
Overview
Documentary film about the iconic 1960s-era poet, songwriter, and vocalist of the Doors.

The documentary features exclusive interviews with his brother, Andy Morrison; cousins Ellen Edwards and David Backer; high school swim coach, Ash Jones; college roommate, Bryan Gates; Doors-era lovers Judy Huddleston and Anne Moore; Doors booking agent, Todd Schiffman; Doors roadie, Gareth Blyth; and the first appearance by Jim’s Paris-era personal assistant, Robyn Wurtele.
