Peter Case: A Million Miles Away profiles one of America's last great troubadours - Peter Case - who has lived a life of constant change, soaring highs, and soul-crushing lows.

Peter Case: A Million Miles Away profiles a gifted musician who has never found the widespread acclaim he deserved, but who has still managed to find a place in the unforgiving landscape of the music business, Peter Case is a unique and compelling artist with a fascinating life story both heartbreaking and hopeful, who has spent the past four decades steadfastly answering his artistic calling.

Directed by Fred Parnes, Peter Case: A Million Miles Away was produced by Jordan Krause and Chris Seefried, and features many of Peter's friends and colleagues, including singer/songwriters Ben Harper, Steve Earle, Victoria Williams, Jack Lee, & Chuck Prophet, as well as producers Van Dyke Parks, Mitchell Froom, & Steven Soles, and journalists Paul Zollo and Denise Sullivan.

"When we first flew up to Berkeley to meet Peter and discuss the possibility of making a film, we had an inkling that his story might be the one we'd been seeking," said filmmaker Fred Parnes. "Here was a dynamic performer who had a modest but adoring audience - a singular, captivating character with a storyteller's flair and a keen sense of humor, who could enthrall us with tales from his life and career filled with both heartrending disappointment and rousing triumph. Our search was over." Watch the trailer below:
