Before the End is a new documentary by director Jeff Finn exploring the persistent conspiracy theory that The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison faked his own death at age 27 on July 3, 1971. The generally accepted and rather tragic tale is that Morrison drank himself death and died of heart failure in the bathtub of his Paris apartment.

The Doors have been through wave upon wave of reappraisal over the decades, and they were in the news most recently because the Morrison Hotel building, made famous by a 1970 Doors album cover, burned down in the recent LA wildfires.
