This extensive video portrait was previously shown in abbreviated form on American television. Interviews with Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley paint a picture of the man behind the legend: Elvis Presley as he was as a father and husband behind the locked gates of Graceland. In addition, the Elvis Presley Estate, the organization that manages Presley's estate, has given creators access to unique
… archive footage of Elvis. The two DVDs, four hours and 20 minutes long, are arranged thematically, highlighting Presley's private life as well as his music. It is true that a pretty one-sided positive image is shown, as is often the case in this kind of American documentaries, but the special images and the excellent music make up for a lot.
