The documentary was commissioned by Sean Doyle, Executive Director, Unscripted and is executive produced by Gaby Aung, Senior Manager, Unscripted for Disney+.
Christine Flack, commented: “I still have so many questions about what happened to Caroline in her final months, and it’s something I feel deeply compelled to explore, even though I know it will be challenging. I’m pleased to be working with the team at Curious Films once again, in the hope of bringing clarity and understanding to Carrie’s story – not just for her, but for everyone who cared about her.”
Dov Freedman, Executive Producer, Curious Films, said: “It’s not often that you feel the need to return to a subject, but nearly five years after Caroline’s tragic death, we know there are still many unanswered questions for Christine and her family that need to be addressed. We’re proud to be collaborating with the Flack family once again, working together to seek some form of resolution to the tragic events surrounding Caroline’s death.”
Gaby Aung, Senior Manager, Unscripted, Disney+, added: “We’re privileged to be working with Christine Flack and our production partners at Curious, as we follow a family’s pursuit for answers and celebrate Caroline’s legacy five years on from her tragic death.”
