The King – Mit Elvis durch Amerika (2018)
Elvis' Rolls Royce fährt auf den Spuren des "King Of Rock 'n' Roll" quer durch Amerika. Für verschiedene Streckenabschnitte nehmen die unterschiedlichsten Personen auf der Rückbank Platz. Darunter Wegbegleiter des King, berühmte Hollywoodstars wie Alec Baldwin, Ashton Kutcher, Ethan Hawke und "The Wire"-Schöpfer David Simon, aber auch ganz normale Fans. Sie erzählen von ihren Erlebnissen mit Elvis und seiner Musik und schlagen 40 Jahre nach dessen Tod Parallelen zwischen seinem Aufstieg und Fall und der derzeitigen Situation in Amerika im Jahr 2016, in dem ein grobschlächtiger, vulgärer und ausländerfeindlicher Reality-TV-Star zum Staatsoberhaupt gewählt wird. Unterwegs wird musiziert, gelacht und versucht zu erklären, wie es mit dem einstigen "Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten" so bergab gehen konnte.
