In Tupelo, Mississippi, the memory of Elvis Presley looms large. The
legendary singer was born there in 1935, and the town still plays host

Paul Kevin Curtis was raised to revere Elvis, and he eventually
partnered with his brother Jack for Double Trouble, a first-of-its-kind
double Elvis revue. But when Curtis’ day job as a janitor led him to a
shocking discovery in a morgue, he went down an internet rabbit hole
into a world of startling conspiracy.
"The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga," a new documentary from
Emmy-winning directors Maclain Way and Chapman Way, brings together
Curtis’ family, friends, and foes to share every detail of his twisty,
stranger-than-fiction tale. Curtis’ mission to expose the dark
underbelly of Tupelo sparks a rivalry that starts locally but climbs to
