Elvis Undercover explores every publicly available file on Elvis, unpacking the contents and stories behind them, with the help of modern tools - including artificial intelligence - combined with historical records and first-hand accounts from his friends and family, to reveal the hidden layers lost beneath redacted details and bureaucratic jargon.
Elvis Undercover examines decades of files and investigations that show how America’s most iconic entertainer intersected with its most secretive law enforcement agency, and what that reveals about the darker undercurrents of fame and fear in post-war America.
