This unique exposé uncovers a man who was much more complex than the public perception of the titular American icon.

While millions revere the wildly popular stage persona of Elvis Presley, few garner a glimpse at his coveted personal life.
Loving Elvis, goes offstage to reveal the private man -- not the myth -- as viewed through the eyes of the women whose love for the man endures: his nurse, his fiancé, his live in girlfriends, his many dalliances and a few young fans dreaming of more.
This unique exposé uncovers a man who was much more complex than the public perception of the titular American icon. Presley was, at his core, a man who was fighting demons, addictions and profound loneliness - something the carefully curated myth fails to embrace, until now.
Loving Elvis questions how much of a blind eye- or free pass-- was taken in the past, only to reveal how our subjects remain steadfast in their love of Elvis. Even if some admit they wouldn't let their underage granddaughters near the guy...
Loving Elvis focuses on seventeen women and two males who intimately observed the King throughout each of his preeminent decades; the late 1950's when Elvis dropped like an atomic bomb into American pop cultural; the 1960s when his film career detonated like a bomb, almost destroying his career; and his renaissance in the 1970s which would lead to eventual burn out and a tragic death.
Through first person accounts we reveal the man, in all his glory and all his darkness. We discover that regardless of the hundreds of women the public associates with him, his one true love was his mother, Gladys Presley. Their relationship informed every one of his romantic attachments, while her death resulted in Presley never fully recovering from his loss. Suffering from arrested development, Elvis would seek out, at times, many inappropriate relationships, develop an addiction to prescription drugs and endure a depression that took hold of him until his ultimate death.
In Loving Elvis, our Subjects do not demonize the icon- his central authenticity and kindness make it impossible to do so - but rather reveals a man who was magnetic, often inappropriate and - eventually -- broken.
The series documents a sad, funny and tangled tale of an American heartthrob.
