“Mr Mojo Risin’” is the story of the making of the Doors’ last album with Jim Morrison “L.A. Woman”. 2011 is the 40th anniversary both of the album’s release and of the death of Jim Morrison and this programme goes into detail of how the album came about, its recording and what was happening to the band at the time. The story is told through new interviews with the three surviving Doors: Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore plus contributions from Jac Holzman, founder of their label Elektra Records, Bill Siddons, who was their manager, Bruce Botnick, engineer and co-producer of the album and others associated with the Doors at this time. The show includes archive footage of the Doors performing both live and in the studio, classic photographs and new musical demonstrations from the Doors.

Jim Morrison, a voz e a alma da banda The Doors, um homem que marcou várias gerações e que ainda hoje nos faz interrogar se algum dia alguém o conheceu realmente. Oliver Stone, realizador pródigo em filmar polêmicas americanas, realizou em 1991 um filme sobre a ascensão da banda, terminando o filme com a morte de Jim Morrison, cuja frase do epílogo deixa a certeza das causas em aberto (dizem que Jim morreu de uma parada cardíaca). É, em seus certos exageros, a biografia de Jim Morrison e da banda The Doors, uma das mais influentes dos anos 1960. Mostra sua passagem pelo conturbado mundo do rock'n'roll, onde as drogas e o sexo reinavam.

No One Here Gets Out Alive, The Doors' tribute to Jim Morrison is a full exploration of the controversial and quixotic singer, delving into his fascination with cinema and psychology, mysticism and sexuality, poetry and power. In addition to clips of the band in action, it features interviews with the surviving members of The Doors and many others who were instrumental in creating and maintaining the legend.
