"It had been Caroline Flack's idea to make a documentary about her arrest and the abuse and torment she suffered in the months that followed. A documentary, she thought, could refute the sordid lies that had been spread about her and give her a voice at a time when she had been told to keep quiet. Of course that documentary never happened. Days after raising the idea, Flack died by suicide. She left behind a note in which she spoke of finding harmony."
"The two-part documentary explores the troubling circumstances surrounding Flack's case, as Christine lays out evidence to suggest that her daughter - having been arrested and charged for assault - was treated differently by the UK police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). She says they'd been eager to make an example out of her daughter as a celebrity. The series asks how it is possible that a dark but fleeting incident in Flack's life, which should've stopped at a caution, ended instead in her death."
Caroline Flack planned to make a documentary about her arrest and the abuse and torment she experienced in the months after. She believed a documentary could refute sordid lies and give her a voice, but she died by suicide days after proposing the idea, leaving a note about finding harmony. Five years later, Christine Flack followed through with a two-part film on Disney Plus. The film presents evidence suggesting that, after an arrest and assault charge, UK police and the Crown Prosecution Service treated Caroline differently because she was a celebrity, escalating a matter that might have ended with a caution and preceding her death.
