[TOMT] Elvis documentary with archival footage, maybe early 00s release?

I saw a documentary about the life of Elvis Presley many years ago that blew me away and I NEVER got the title (it was pre-Netflix days). I caught it in the middle while flipping channels, and I fell asleep so I never finished it.

The cinematography was all archival footage and photographs, and it was narrated as if Elvis was telling his own story. Similar documentaries are "The Kid Stays in the Picture” and “Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child”.

It was such an amazing documentary and I can't find it anywhere. It chronicled his early life, his military career, his musical successes, etc. It had no interviews or reenactments, it was strictly archival footage and photographs.

It's NOT "This is Elvis" or “Elvis 76”. As far as I remember, it contained no interviews, and no reenactments.

I remember a portion where he talks about being overseas in Germany, and missing his mom. I think he’s upset that he missed her birthday, or he wanted to bring her to Germany for her birthday or Christmas.
