The Doors: Being strange on camera
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.To compliment the cinema release of Tom DiCillo’s documentary about the The Doors ‘When You’re Strange,’ the Idea Generation Gallery is hosting an exhibition of previously unseen and lesser known photographs from the controversial band’s history.
Iconic singer Jim Morrison, keyboard-player Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger stare moodily out of a series of black and white and sepia portraits shot throughout the band’s six year career prior to Morrison’s death in 1971.
Photographers including Joel Brodsky, Bobby Klein and Henry Diltz captured the troubled American band’s success, Morrison’s increasing dependence on drugs and alcohol and their irreverent performance-style between 1966 and 1971. The collection provides another glimpse of the enduringly popular group’s approach.
