The King The Rise And Fall Of Elvis Presley
Is the promise of the "American Dream" alive or a concept that's faded in
the rear-view mirror? Forty years after the death of Elvis Presley,
acclaimed filmmaker Eugene Jarecki takes the Kings 1963 Rolls-Royce on a
musical road trip across America in search of not only Elvis's legacy but
the fate of the American Dream and the consequences of "cashing in" to try
to achieve it. The King is a cautionary snapshot of America at a critical
time in the nations history, painting a parallel portrait of the nations
own heights and depths, from its inspired origins to its perennial struggles
with race, class, power, and money.
From Memphis to New York, Las Vegas, and beyond, the journey traces the rise
and fall of Elvis as a metaphor for the country he left behind. A diverse
cast of regular Americans join music icons and celebrities including
Rosanne Cash, Chuck D, Emmylou Harris (who says in the film, Maybe [Elvis]
was the king but he was doomed), Van Jones, Ethan Hawke, Mike Myers, and
Dan Rather, among many others, woven in with soaring live performances from
artists as varied as teen Nashville phenomenon EmiSunshine, Mississippi
bluesman Leo Bud Welch, New York City rapper Immortal Technique, the cool
West Coast sounds of M. Ward, and the gospel stylings of Memphiss
Stax Music Academy.
