Promotional film for The Doors' single "The Unknown Soldier." The film features graphic Vietnam war footage, the band walking on the beach, and Jim Morrison being "executed." Due to its controversial content, the film was not shown on national television as intended and many venues were hesitant to show it. The film premiered before a Doors concert in Boston on March 17, 1968.
