Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
The Love Island presenter's mother asks difficult questions about her death in this powerful documentary
Year: 2025
Certificate: 18
In December 2019, Caroline Flack was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend. In February 2020, while she was awaiting trial, the Love Island presenter took her own life, aged just 40. The media storm that followed Flack's arrest was considerable and her mental health deteriorated as she awaited trial, but what exactly happened in those months between her arrest and suicide?
Her mother Christine has long had questions about that period and asks them in a sensitive two-part documentary produced by Curious Films, who were also behind the more reactive Caroline Flack: Her Life And Death for Channel 4 in 2021.
Hearing from many of Caroline's family and friends, along with her agent, solicitor and many more besides, it builds a moving portrait of that time - revealing new details about what happened and focusing on the institutional failures that allowed events to unfold as they did. Christine is very much at the core of it all, making phone calls, talking to people and showing us messages from Caroline's many phones that demonstrate her state of mind. It's a strong piece of filmmaking that should, hopefully, serve to bring change in the future and comfort to her family about the past. It's also quite unflinching about the details, so fair warning on it from that point of view. (Two episodes)
