What is the name of the documentary film about The Doors released in 2009?

The 2009 documentary film about The Doors was When You’re Strange. Directed by Tom DiCillo, the film uses archival footage to trace the band’s rise, cultural impact, and turbulent history rather than presenting a conventional interview-driven biography.

The documentary focuses on the original Doors lineup: Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore. Johnny Depp provides the narration, guiding viewers through the band’s formation, breakthrough years, performances, recording career, and Morrison’s death in 1971.

When You’re Strange premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and was later released theatrically and for television. It won the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video, later known as Best Music Film. The title comes from the Doors lyric “When you’re strange, faces come out of the rain,” from the song “People Are Strange,” not from a separate Doors album.
