ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS is far more than a documentary—it is an intimate journey into the heart of a man whose music forever changed the world. Originally broadcast in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2005, this remarkable film offers one of the most personal and authentic portraits ever created of Elvis Presley, told not through sensational headlines or public myths, but through the voices of the people who knew and loved him best.

Through never-before-seen home movies, rare photographs, treasured family archives, and heartfelt interviews, they reveal the Elvis that millions of fans rarely had the chance to see—a devoted father, a loving husband, a loyal friend, and a man who carried both unimaginable success and profound personal struggles.
