The film, titled EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, showcases the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s electrifying performances in Las Vegas and on his 1972 North American tour.

The restoration of this archival material, carefully curated over the past two years, offers a fresh perspective on Elvis’s career and personal journey.
