Jumpsuits, shades and gold chains abound when a group of passionate Kiwi Elvis Presley fans take the trip of a lifetime to Graceland, Tennessee to mark the 25th anniversary of their hero's 1977 death. Documentary 10,000 Miles to Graceland chronicles their journey, capturing many highs including a pilgrimage to Sun Studios and singing in the rain at Graceland's candlelight vigil. Two couples are inspired enough to renew their vows at an Elvis- themed chapel. A last minute ticket debacle gets the group all shook up, but super fan Ken McCallum is willing to picket Heartbreak Hotel to keep their concert dream alive. 

It felt as if a crime had happened:.suddenly Elvis had been taken away from this world.
