 THE KING is a must-see glimpse into modern America. Forty years after the death of Elvis Presley, award-winning director Eugene Jarecki takes Elvis' 1963 Rolls-Royce on a musical road trip across the country that Presley left behind. From the deep south to New York, Las Vegas, and beyond, a tapestry of musical luminaries and unknown Americans join the journey, expressing themselves in words and song. "With his singular cinematic brilliance, Jarecki weaves an urgent portrait of a nation in crisis with a metaphoric connection between Elvis and America. For just as a country boy lost his authenticity and became a king, so too his country lost her democracy and became an empire. One died on the toilet; the other now faces an uncertain future under the closest thing she’s ever come to a monarch." - David Courier Featuring musical performances by John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, and many others. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Film starts at 7:00 p.m. $12 tickets sold at the door, in advance at the Center for the Arts, or online at www.cbfilmfest.org/monthly-films
