Trailer Releases for Caroline Flack Doc as Mother Challenges ‘Lamp’ Claim

Family-authorised messages seek to challenge public myths, renewing scrutiny of police and press.

Overview

  • Disney+/Hulu unveiled the official trailer for Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, with both parts premiering on November 10.
  • In a live TV interview, Christine Flack said the widely reported claim that her daughter beat Lewis Burton with a lamp was wrong and said the film addresses it.
  • The trailer features previously unheard voice notes and texts, including messages in which Flack says she feels at her lowest and cannot see a way out.
  • A coroner previously found Flack’s mental health worsened after her 2019 arrest, with intense media attention cited during the inquest.
  • Background detailed in the film includes the CPS recommending a caution before the Metropolitan Police appealed and pursued charges, a 2023 IOPC review finding no recorded rationale for that appeal, and a subsequent Met apology to the family.
