This documentary marks a long-awaited tribute to their legacy and the cultural wave they helped ignite.
### A Legacy Reborn
The new Netflix documentary, structured as a **multi-part docuseries**, dives deep into the origins, meteoric rise, and lasting influence of The Doors. From their formation in **Venice Beach, California**, to the wild performances at venues like **Whisky a Go Go**, and through the storms of legal troubles and Morrison’s tragic death in 1971, “New Era; It’s Time” is a complete chronicle of their journey. It features never-before-seen footage, rare audio recordings, and newly uncovered journal entries from Morrison himself, offering an intimate glimpse into the heart of the band.
Director **Liam Campbell**, known for his work on historical music documentaries, describes the project as “an attempt to not just tell the story of The Doors, but to **feel** it — the chaos, the fire, the beauty, and the brilliance.”
### Exclusive Interviews and Archival Gems
What sets this documentary apart is its access. Viewers will hear from **surviving band members Robby Krieger and John Densmore**, who reflect on the band’s musical experiments, creative tensions, and Morrison’s volatile genius.

Music historians and cultural critics provide context on the political unrest of the era, which the band captured and channeled through songs like “The End,” “Riders on the Storm,” and “Light My Fire.”
### More Than Music
While the band’s music is at the forefront, “New Era; It’s Time” also explores deeper themes — the counterculture movement, the battle against censorship, and the enduring question of artistic freedom. Jim Morrison, who was as much a poet as he was a frontman, is portrayed not just as a rock star, but as a troubled visionary wrestling with fame, inner demons, and philosophical questions that continue to resonate.
The film also revisits the band’s legal confrontations, Morrison’s controversial Miami trial, and his final days in Paris, where he died at just 27 years old. His story, often mythologized, is approached with care, depth, and humanity.
