Synopsis

McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass

For over fifty years, the disappearance of Paul McCartney’s original Höfner bass has been one of rock ‘n’ roll’s enduring mysteries. The Hunt for the Lost Bass tells the extraordinary story of this iconic instrument, and the fan powered quest to find it.

When You're Strange

The creative chemistry of four brilliant artists —drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Kreiger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and singer Jim Morrison— made The Doors one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands. Using footage shot between their formation in 1965 and Morrison's death in 1971, it follows the band from the corridors of UCLA's film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas.
