Graceland by Ellen Byron - Directed by Kelly Kendall
It’s June 6, 1982 and Graceland, Elvis Presley’s estate, opens to the public tomorrow. Bev and Rootie, two devoted fans of the King, camp out at the gates each determined to be the first inside. Their playful rivalry shifts unexpectedly into an exploration of longing, loss and the way Elvis’s music shapes their lives. Heartfelt, funny and moving, Graceland offers audiences a glimpse into what it means to hold onto dreams, even when they don’t unfold as planned.
