On July 29th 1974, Cass Elliot was found dead in a flat in London. She was 32 years old and her death shocked the world. One of the most influential figures of the hippy scene, she rose to fame as a member of folk-rock band The Mamas and The Papas, who took the world by storm with their hit single ‘California Dreamin’ along with a string of classic songs. Cass was loved and respected by everyone who knew her and her voice made her famous world-wide. Frank Sinatra once sent her a personal note saying “you have the best phrasing of any singer I’ve ever heard”. Redefining perceptions of how female artists should look and behave, she became a role model and icon for every girl that didn’t fit in at the high school prom. But her appetites for excess were as legendary as her voice. At her worst, she would get into her big convertible Cadillac and drive into the worst parts of town to score drugs. And her rollercoaster career was matched by an equally turbulent personal life. Her death was followed by speculation and rumour, had she choked on a ham sandwich? Had she overdosed on drugs? Was the cause of her death covered up in some way? The official verdict at the time was that she had died from fatty myocardial degeneration due to obesity. However it’s rare for someone of 32 to die from that alone. World renowned Medical Examiner Dr Michael Hunter believes there were other factors at play and is taking a fresh look at the evidence to uncover the truth behind what killed Cass Elliot.

On May 15th 2003, June Carter Cash died in a Nashville hospital following complications from heart surgery. A devoted wife and mother, June’s life in the limelight was not without its troubles.

On September 12, 2003, the world was mourning the loss of legendary singer Johnny Cash, who died in Nashville, Tennessee from respiratory arrest.

Now, Forensic Pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter is taking a fresh look at Johnny Cash’s death and will reveal whether years of drug abuse and hard-living led to the star’s demise or whether his death was due to something else entirely.

When Elvis died on August 16th, 1977, at just 42 years old, he was the most famous entertainer the world had ever seen. From the release of his first record ‘That Alight’ in 1954, every step of Elvis Presley’s musical journey left a footprint that others would follow. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and countless others have recognised their debt to the King of Rock n’ roll. But his influence extended beyond music, and when Hollywood came calling, Elvis’ charisma lit up screens around the world. Through much of the 60’s, Elvis was Hollywood’s highest paid actor – eclipsing his heroes Marlon Brando and James Dean with a million-dollar pay-check per movie. Featuring emotional accounts from family members and friends, this film dives deep into the inner world of Elvis Presley and examines the sometimes-bizarre relationships that impacted his life and career. Elvis Presley’s larger -than-life public persona was partly a fiction created by his manager Colonel Tom Parker – but the private Presley was a very real product of the extraordinary circumstances of his impoverished childhood. Elvis survived a birth that left his twin brother dead – and the effects of that trauma reverberated throughout Elvis’ life. Aside from being a twinless twin, by far the biggest influence on Elvis was his mother Gladys. God fearing and devoted to her surviving son, Gladys and Elvis were locked in orbit until fame began to erode their bond – and depression sent Gladys to an early grave. Elvis’ cousin Billy Smith throws new light on this ill-fated mother-love that underscored every relationship that Elvis had with a woman.

With his once-promising career a hazy, drug-fueled memory, Johnny Cash must journey into hell in order to find redemption. Once a wildly-creative, highly-driven artist, the man in black has dried up. Then came a risky live album recorded at Folsom Prison. “I knew this was it, my chance to make up for all the times when I had messed up.” Few believed in him and no one could imagine this day would give birth to the revered legend we know today. But what exactly happened on that fateful day in January 1968? What demons led him to one of the most dangerous places in American society? Could his journey into the underworld really save his soul? Set to the backdrop of the tumultuous sixties, the drama of Folsom is examined moment-to-moment while simultaneously branching out to reveal a life surrounded by danger and haunted by death. Only one man is capable of traveling from the darkness At Folsom Prison to the light of The Holy Land.
